Frequently Asked Questions & Gitmoji Guide

Which emoji should I use for a git revert merged or merge rollback?

When you need to execute a git revert merged, git revert merging, or a gitlab merge revert, the standard is to use the rewind emoji (⏪). If you are completely removing a commit (like git remove commit, git drop commit, or git delete commit), you might also see the trash can emoji or wastebasket pull out used.

What is the standard bug emoji for commit messages?

The classic bug emoji (🐛) is the standard for fixing a bug. Other common specific emojis include the lock in emoji (🔒) for security issues, and the green emoji heart (💚) or heart bandage emoji for fixing CI build issues.

What does the fire emoji mean in a commit?

If you're asking what does the fire emoji mean in coding, it usually translates to removing code or files (🔥). Some occasionally use variations like the heart on fire emoji or emoji boom (💥) to denote introducing breaking changes.

How do I represent database or infrastructure changes?

For database related changes, use the emoji db (database) or card index. If dealing with server setups or architecture, you'll sometimes see the emoji building, worker emoji, or window emoji used contextually. For renaming setups, like git rename repository, a simple gear or tag emoji works.

What are the best emojis for UI, design, and charting?

For design and UI, use the lipstick emoji (💄) or art emojis (🎨). If your commit involves data visualization, the chart emoji or graph emoji are great choices. For adding new visual features, the plus emoji or tada emoji (🎉) fits nicely. Adding icons like the square emoji, white box emoji, or face money emoji are usually project-specific.

Which emojis signify cleaning up or refactoring code?

The cleaning emoji (🧹) or broom is perfect for chore tasks, message compiler updates, and cleaning code. When improving performance, a lightning bolt or emoji light bulb is great. To mock things (like an emo test or clown repo), developers sometimes use the evil clown face or clown hammer, but it is better to stick to standard recycling or wrench icons.

General tech questions: How to delete bitmoji or emojis on iPhone?

While Gitmoji focuses on git workflows (like repo emoji or commit conventions), people often search for memoji application usage. If you want to know how to delete emojis on iphone, how to delete bitmoji, or manage mac shortcut emoji, you'll need to check your Apple device keyboard settings (Settings > General > Keyboard), as this falls outside git commit standards.
