The gitmoji --update command is used in Gitmoji, an open-source project that helps developers use emojis as a way to denote the purpose or nature of their Git commit messages.

When you run gitmoji --update, it updates the local cache of available emojis and their associated information. This command is useful if there have been recent additions or changes to the available emojis, as it ensures that your local cache is up to date.

It connects to the Gitmoji API and retrieves the latest list of emojis along with their descriptions, code, and other metadata. These details are stored locally so that you can easily reference them when using the Gitmoji commit convention.

By running gitmoji --update, you ensure that you have the most recent information about available emojis. This helps in maintaining consistent and informative commit messages in your Git history.
