Converts emoji aliases into emoji.

Emojify

Converts emoji aliases into emoji. Useful for emojifying git log output and the like.

Requirements

You'll need Ruby. I would've preferred the script to be in Bash but I couldn't figure out how to use sed to dynamically replace the aliases. If you have a way to do it I'd love a pull request.

Installation

Homebrew

Emojify might be too niche to make it into the main homebrew repo, but you can easily get it from my personal tap.

brew tap brandonweiss/homebrew-tap
brew install emojify

Manually

The emojify script is self-contained. Just put it somewhere that's in your $PATH.

Usage

Pipe

echo ":fish: + :hocho: = :sushi:" | emojify
🐟 + 🔪 = 🍣

File

emojify where_does_sushi_come_from.txt
🐟 + 🔪 = 🍣

In practice

# .gitconfig
[alias]
  logmoji = !git log | emojify | less -r

Build

I wanted the script to be as portable as possible so it has to be "built".

bundle install
rake build

It uses gemoji as a data source and embeds a mapping of each emoji alias to emoji character in the script.
