Hey, author here. Currently you can sign in with GitHub/Google to sync History, Collections and Environment variables. But syncing with a Git repo isn't available yet. This is one of the priority request in our roadmap and internally we're working on this feature. There's an active issue to track its progress.

There's lot of projects like: Next, Nest, Nuxt.. I wonder how this would apply to them.
Author here: I love emojis because they are fun and makes it enjoyable. I don't look for the technicality behind it.
Author here: That was prolly a mistake made by me. Sorry.
Author here: Sorry if my usage of emojis made you uncomfortable. I don't think using emojis would soften the seriousness of a project There's lot of projects that uses Gitmoji and it's all v.appreciated too. Don't make someone feel lesser when you don't like it. I like to keep a signature on everything I do, whether its commit messages or anything else.
Yes!! Author here. Please go through this.
