emojify

THIS IS A VERY USEFUL SCRIPT. IT WILL ABSOLUTELY BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY AND HELP YOU IN YOUR DAILY WORK.

:wink:

Basically, emojify substitutes emoji aliases that many services (like GitHub) use for emoji raw characters.

emojify is a shell script, so put it somewhere and make sure it's added to your $PATH.

Here's a one-liner:

$ sudo sh -c "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrowa44/emojify/master/emojify -o /usr/local/bin/emojify && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/emojify"

If you're on OS X, emojify is also on Homebrew:

$ brew install emojify

For Arch Linux users, a PKGBUILD is available in the AUR:

$ pacaur -S emojify

Since https://github.com/mrowa44/emojify/pull/18/ emojify requires bash version above 4. The old version can still be found here: https://github.com/mrowa44/emojify/tree/old_bash_support but it's not recommended.

Here's a clever example:

$ emojify "Hey, I just :raising_hand: you, and this is :scream: , but here's my :calling: , so :telephone_receiver: me, maybe?"

would output:

Hey, I just :raising_hand: you, and this is :scream: , but here's my :calling: , so :telephone_receiver: me, maybe?

Or maybe:

$ emojify "To :bee: , or not to :bee: : that is the question... To take :muscle: against a :ocean: of troubles, and by opposing, end them?"

To :bee: , or not to :bee: : that is the question... To take :muscle: against a :ocean: of troubles, and by opposing, end them?

Or you could run it through git log with something like:

$ git log --oneline --color | emojify | less -r

and go from this dull thing:

before

to this:

after

To have an alias that does that for you, add something like:

log = ! git log --oneline --color | emojify | less -r

to your .gitconfig.

Note: if you want colors you need to specify the --color option.

To invoke help run emojify -h.

The project can be tested using bats:

$ bats emojify_tests.bats

Shellcheck can be used for linting the shell script:

$ shellcheck --exclude=SC1117 emojify
