This repository provides a collection of custom emoji and their corresponding aliases, designed for use within Buildkite pipelines and terminal output. It serves as a community-driven resource for developers to easily incorporate visual cues representing various tools, technologies, and concepts into their CI/CD workflows.

How It Works

The project maintains a collection of 64x64 PNG images for each emoji, stored in the img-buildkite-64 directory. These images are referenced in a JSON file (img-buildkite-64.json) which maps each emoji to its various text aliases. This structure allows for easy lookup and integration into systems that support custom emoji rendering.

Quick Start & Requirements

To use these emojis, you can typically copy the desired PNG files and their corresponding JSON entries into your Buildkite custom emoji configuration. The README provides a comprehensive list of available emojis and their aliases.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive library of over 300 emojis covering a wide range of programming languages, tools, and concepts.
• Includes support for Unicode emoji with a dedicated section for updating them.
• Clear contribution guidelines for adding new tool-specific emojis.
• Emojis are designed to be legible on both light and dark backgrounds.

Maintenance & Community

This is a community-driven project with contributions from various individuals. The README encourages contributions and provides a clear path for adding new emojis.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository states "Each logo is owned by their respective creators," implying a permissive use for personal and Buildkite-related projects. However, it does not specify a formal open-source license, which may require clarification for commercial use or integration into proprietary systems.

Limitations & Caveats

The lack of a formal open-source license could pose a challenge for commercial adoption or integration into closed-source projects. Users should verify usage rights for specific logos if commercial use is intended.
