Custom commands

Using Gitmoji with custom commands allows you to create a command that selects the desired Gitmoji and even the desired issue number. Here is an example: Example of a custom command

For this config I first select the correct gitmoji and then the issue. For that i have a bash command that get all my gitlab issues (based on glab)

  - type: "menuFromCommand"
    title: "Which remote repository to push to?"
    key: "Issue"
    command: >-
      bash -c "glab issue list -O json | jq -r 'sort_by(.id) | .[] | \"#\\(.iid) TITLE:\\(.title)\"'"
    filter: '#(?P<id>\d+) TITLE:(?P<title>.*)'
    valueFormat: "{{ .id }}"
    labelFormat: "#{{ .id | bold | cyan }} Title:{{.title | bold | red}}"
  - type: "confirm"
    title: "Commit"
    body: "Commit with the message '{{.Form.Type}} #{{.Form.Issue}} {{.Form.Message}}'. Is this okay?"
command: 'bash -c ''type="{{.Form.Type}}"; message="{{.Form.Message}}"; issue={{.Form.Issue}}; commit_message="$type #$issue $message"; git commit -m "$commit_message"'''
loadingText: "Commiting..."
