The command "gitmoji --commit" is used to create a commit message with an emoji representing the type of change made in the Git repository.

Gitmoji is a tool that allows developers to use emojis as a part of their Git commit messages. It follows the convention of using emojis to represent the purpose or nature of a commit. This helps to visually distinguish different types of changes, making it easier to understand the commit history.

The "--commit" flag is an argument used with the "gitmoji" command. It specifies that you want to create a commit with a gitmoji in the commit message.

When you run "gitmoji --commit" command, it will prompt you to select from a list of available emojis along with their meanings. Once you choose an emoji, it will open an editor for you to write the commit message. You can include a brief description of the change made in the repository along with the selected emoji.

For example, if you choose the "bug" emoji, your commit message might look like:

":bug: Fix issue with login validation"

Here, ":bug:" represents the emoji for a bug fix, and "Fix issue with login validation" provides a brief description of the change made.

Using gitmoji can add a fun and descriptive element to your commit messages, making it easier for you and your teammates to understand the purpose of each commit.
