Gitmoji: Add emoji for massive architectural changes or giant ideas

Created on 30 Nov 2017  路  8Comments  路  Source: carloscuesta/gitmoji

Hello @carloscuesta :sunglasses:!

  • Emoji: 馃敠
  • Code: :flashlight:
  • Description: Searching for or thinking about massive architectural changes or giant ideas

Thought process

  • Every once in a while, one needs to think about much larger or grander changes to a codebase than the simple :boom:.

    • Such changes would often be followed up with a :boom: to actually implement them.

  • :bulb: is already taken for documenting source code
  • :tada: or :construction: would not be unreasonable, but I think it would be nice to have something to distinguish massive architectural thoughts or changes from simple work in progress commits

Alternatives

  • An :inception: emoji doesn't to my knowledge exist
  • A :cathedral: emoji doesn't to my knowledge exist, as distinct from 鉀笍 :church: which while great isn't really at the scale I'm thinking of, and wouldn't capture the grandeur of say the Cathedral and the Bazaar I'm alluding to

massive architectural changes it sounds like refactoring (:hammer: time)

True, I'd used :hammer: a lot already in my context, forgot to include it in my thought process.

Perhaps I got sick of seeing :hammer: and felt I needed a different semantic for the much larger decision I felt needed to be highlighted in my context?

Such decisions are rare in the scheme of things though so if this issue sits open for a while to gauge community reaction I'd be fine with that.

I think it's a good idea, a change of paradigm or tech stack is a much bigger task than a refactor of code @pzrq

What about 馃彈 :building_construction: for this gitmoji? @pzrq

@carloscuesta 馃彈 :building_construction: would work for me.

Feel free to send a PR @pzrq

Cheers @carloscuesta 馃憤

I will do, once time permits (I'm moving house this weekend).

I can do it for you If you are busy, don't worry 馃槃
