## What it is
A style guide that standardizes git commit message format using emoji prefixes (gitmoji-style) alongside conventional type keywords like feat, fix, and docs. It documents rules for subject length, tense, mood, and emoji-to-type mappings to make git history easier to scan and changelogs easier to generate.

## Use cases
- standardize commit messages across a team
- learn how to write gitmoji commit messages
- pick emojis for different commit types
- enforce consistent git log formatting
- generate changelogs from structured commit messages

## When to choose
- you want an emoji-based commit convention for your team or projects
- you need a reference for conventional commit types with emoji equivalents
- you want git history that is easier to visually scan

## When to avoid
- your team prefers plain conventional commits without emojis
- you need an enforced linting tool rather than a written style guide
- emoji prefixes feel like overhead for your workflow

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, version-control, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: gitmoji, commit-message-conventions, style-guide, emoji, git, conventional-commits
