A shell script that converts emoji aliases (like :smile:) into actual emoji characters on the command line.
What is emojify?
Emojify is a Bash shell script that converts text-based emoji aliases (like :smile:) into actual Unicode emoji characters directly in the terminal. It solves the problem of plain, text-only command-line output by allowing developers to use expressive emoji in Git logs, commit messages, and shell scripts. The tool integrates seamlessly with existing workflows through piping and Git aliases.
Developers and command-line users who work with Git, shell scripting, or terminal-based tools and want to add visual flair to their text output.
Emojify is lightweight, easy to install, and works instantly with existing commands via piping. Unlike manual copy-pasting of emoji, it automates the conversion using familiar GitHub-style shortcodes, making the command line more engaging without sacrificing functionality.
