Gitmoji: ✨ Enhancement: Add 🌌 for whitespace commits

Created on 25 Aug 2020  Β·  4Comments  Β·  Source: carloscuesta/gitmoji

Hello @carloscuesta :sunglasses:!

I hope you are having a superbly amazing day.

  • Emoji: 🌌
  • Code: :milky_way:
  • Description:
    I've been using gitmoji recently and really liking it. One convention that I have found myself using on several teams, but that isn't supported by gitmoji, is a whitespace only commit. I'm hoping we can add a whitespace only commit marker.

I was thinking 🌌 because it also is referred to as "space". However, πŸ‘Ύ could work since it's "github" name is "space_invader" πŸ€”

I'll go ahead and put in a PR for 🌌

Additional Reasoning:
There are times when you want to change the whitespace in a file. Whether that's adding new lines, removing lines, adjusting leading space, etc... However, those kinds of whitespace changes can add to unnecessary churn in a codebase and it can lead to annoying reviews. That's why adding a whitespace only commit can be helpful. It helps communicate to teammates the intent of the commit.

I guess 🎨 :art: (Improve structure / format of the code.) fulfill this case.

Hey @jeremysawesome I also think this is also covered by :art: and since this is already covered on the spec there’s no need to introduce it as a new gitmoji!

Thanks for your suggestion!

Alright then, bummer.

Thanks for the feedback πŸ‘

For sure you can keep using this Gitmoji if it makes sense to you! This is what is all about 😍
