Code comparison

gitmoji:

const gitmojis = require('./src/data/gitmojis.json')

const getEmojiCode = (code) => {
  return gitmojis.find(gitmoji => gitmoji.code === code)
}

emoji:

const emoji = require('emoji.json')

const getEmoji = (name) => {
  return emoji.find(e => e.name === name)
}

Summary

gitmoji is specifically designed for Git commit messages, providing a curated list of emojis with guidelines for their usage. It offers better integration with Git workflows and focuses on improving commit message readability.

emoji, on the other hand, is a more general-purpose emoji library with a broader range of emojis. It provides a simple interface for copying and searching emojis but lacks the specific focus on Git commit messages and guidelines for their usage in version control.

Choose gitmoji if you're looking for a tool to enhance your Git commit messages with relevant emojis, or opt for emoji if you need a more comprehensive emoji library for general use.

{
  "gitmojis": [
    {
      "emoji": "🎨",
      "entity": "🎨",
      "code": ":art:",
      "description": "Improve structure / format of the code.",
      "name": "art"
    }
  ]
}

While emoji-cheat-sheet provides a comprehensive list of emojis with their Unicode characters and shortcodes, gitmoji focuses specifically on emojis for Git commit messages. gitmoji includes descriptions and use cases for each emoji in the context of development, making it more suitable for Git-related workflows. However, emoji-cheat-sheet offers a broader range of emojis from various platforms, which can be useful for general emoji reference.

Pros of commit-message-emoji

• Simpler and more concise list of emojis
• Focuses specifically on commit messages
• Easier to understand for beginners

Cons of commit-message-emoji

• Less comprehensive emoji coverage
• Not as actively maintained
• Lacks additional tools and integrations

Code Comparison

commit-message-emoji:

| Emoji | Description |
|:---:|---|
| :art: | Improving structure / format of the code. |
| :zap: | Improving performance. |
| :fire: | Removing code or files. |

gitmoji:

| Emoji | Entity | Code | Description |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|---|
| 🎨 | `:art:` | `🎨` | Improve structure / format of the code. |
| ⚡️ | `:zap:` | `⚡` | Improve performance. |
| 🔥 | `:fire:` | `🔥` | Remove code or files. |

gitmoji provides a more detailed table with additional information for each emoji, including the entity and Unicode representation. commit-message-emoji offers a simpler table format focused on emoji and description only.

While both projects aim to standardize emoji usage in commit messages, gitmoji offers a more comprehensive and actively maintained solution with additional tools and integrations. commit-message-emoji, on the other hand, provides a simpler approach that may be more accessible for beginners or those looking for a straightforward emoji guide for commit messages.
