gitmoji: List all available emojis and their descriptions.
$ gitmoji --list
try on your machine

The gitmoji --list command is used to display a list of all available gitmojis.

Gitmojis is an emoji-based convention for commit messages in Git repositories. Each gitmoji represents a specific type of change or action made in a commit. The purpose of using gitmojis is to make commit messages more expressive, visually appealing, and consistent across the team.

When you run the gitmoji --list command, it will output a table with the available gitmojis and their corresponding meaning. The list shows each gitmoji's code, which is a unique identifier associated with it, as well as its emoji representation and a description of its purpose.

For example, the output of the command might look something like this:

Code  Emoji               Description
:art: 🎨                  Improve structure/format of the code
:zap: ⚡️                 Improve performance
:bug: 🐛                  Fix a bug
:fire: 🔥                 Remove code or files
:tada: 🎉                Initial commit

This way, developers can easily choose the appropriate gitmoji to use in their commit messages, providing additional context about the nature of the changes made in the commit.
