List What Files Changed in a Git Commit (1 mins read).
How to list what files changed in a given commit.
Reply to https://opensource.christmas/2019/11
From me it's a no - I see why some people want it, but would rather prefer they stay out of the already limited space in the commit message title, and there's a level of arguable subjectivity of what an emoji means especially as different teams, projects and cultures have views on it.
But then again, so does written language, but I feel that is at least more known?
