My new Git-moji setup

I’ve been a HUGE fan of Ahmad Awais for awhile now. Among the things he’s created that I use daily are the git commit messages from his Emjoi Log repo.

With the announcement that Catalina is going to default to zsh instead of bash I decided to explore the new shell and came across Ali Spittel’s excellent writeup about her terminal setup and decided to use that as a jumping off point.

I’d highly recommend giving it a read. Where I started to diverge was when she got to her custom functions, but that was simply to add my custom Git Emoji messages. I put my version in a gist if you’re interested in checking them out.

bonus tip: I printed out a small notecard with the commands so I can quickly reference them before they become second nature (it didn’t take more than a week for me, YMMV)
