zemojify

Emoji on the command line 😱 - The ZSH Version

This is a ZSH version of the excellent emojify by Justyna Rachowicz. Thanks Justyna!

I came across this issue on the original repository and, even though a port to ZSH wasn't needed, I thought "why not? 🤷‍♂️"

Advantages over the original script

ZSH, albeit less common, is a shell more powerful than BASH. Since I've ported it, I also took time to solve some issues I had with the emojify script, mainly the fact that it relied on $IFS to make the substitution and ZSH has a nice regex-replace function that works much better in this case, so issues like this shouldn't happen.

Installation

Just add zemojify to your $PATH and you're good to go.

Zplug

If you use Zplug, you can add zemojify with the following:

zplug filipekiss/zemojify, as:"command"

If you wanna replace emojify

zplug filipekiss/zemojify, as:"command", rename-to:emojify

Usage

If you use emojify, zemojify is a drop-in replacement. (In fact, you can even name it emojify and it will work as expected.)

Replace in string

zemojify "Welcome to Narnia! :lion_face:

Output: Welcome to Narnia! :lion_face:

Pipe-in

git log --color | zemojify | less

Using in all pagers

Add this to your .zshrc

(( $+commands[zemojify]] )) && export PAGER="zemojify | ${PAGER}"
