Jhechtmoji
Jhechtmoji is a configurable Git Emoji package. It shits with a default setup of Emoji Commit Messages, but can set to use any emoji. This makes Jhechtmoji an ideal extension for teams that want to use a standard Emoji Map between them, without needing to make their own extension or be limited by other similar extensions.
Features
This extension aims to keep things simple. As such, unlike other Git extensions, Jhechtmoji doesn't reinvent the wheel – it uses the API exposed by the VSCode Git extension, along with some simple configuration and minimal UI.
Requirements
This extension requires node-emoji to convert from emoji shortcodes to their unicode values.
Extension Settings
Jhechtmoji utilizes two user settings jhechtmoji.convertToUnicode and jhechtmoji.emojiMap.
jhechtmoji.convertToUnicode is set to true by default; this means that each time you use the jhechtmoji.commit command it will turn the shortcode, e.g. :tada: and replace it with the unicode value instead, 🎉 in this case.
jhechtmoji.emojiMap is a map of "[Descriptor of emoji]": ":emoji_shortcode:" values. This value can be updated to reflect your personal use of Emojis in Git, or to reflect a standardized Git Emoji setup between a development team.
Jhechtmoji also adds in one keybinding: ctrl+shift+c, with a when condition of !terminalFocus. This is done because I know on some Linux installations (Ubuntu for sure), ctrl+shift+c is the keybinding for Copy inside the terminal.
Known Issues
- In repositories with submodules the extension is currently unable to highlight the correct input box after selecting a message type. The UI has been updated, but unfortunately
there is not a way to fix this issue at this time.
