😜 Gitmoji

[LVMVRQUXL]

📝 Description

For adding visual indicators to our releases, we would like to attach the following emojis to them:

• 💥 for major releases (4.0.0 💥)
• ✨ for minor releases (4.1.0 ✨)
• 🚑 for patch releases (4.0.1 🚑).

Also, starting from this issue, we will use Gitmoji for commits in the following way:

<intention> <message> (<identifier>)

• intention: An emoji from Gitmoji.
• message: A brief explanation of the change.
• identifier: A reference to an issue or a pull request on this repository.

Here's an example of commit message:

⬆️ Bump binary-compatibility-validator to 0.14.0 (#380)

It may also be interesting to configure the Gitmoji CLI locally.
