I absolutely love using emojis in things like build pipelines or documentation. I find a list like this:
- Run Tests
- Lint
- Build artefact
Is a whole lot easy to read when it has emojis:
- 🧪 Run tests
- 🔎 Lint
- 🏗 Build artefact
The emojis give very quick identifiable reference points - in what otherwise might look like a wall of text.
So what are your favourite emojis to use for common terms?
Here's some of mine:
| Emoji | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🧪 👩🏾🔬 | Test | It can be good to have different emojis for different test types |
| 👷 🏗 | Build | |
| ⚙️ 🔧 | Configure | |
| 📦 | Artefact | |
| 🔎 🕵️♀️ | Inspect/Lint | |
| 👮🏼 | Type Check | Or any other strict/grumpy check |
| 👩🦯 | Lint | 'Lets check for things that might trip us up' |
| 👨🎤 | Formatting | 'They're an artist' |
| 🛃 | Security check on dependencies | |
| 👩🏼🌾 | User | |
| 🧙 | Admin | |
| 🧛♂️ | Manager |
