The name ngicks is made from 2 words.
- 苦い(bitterness)
- シゲキックス(Series of candy made and sold by 味覚糖株式会社)
One of my favorite video game, Pikmin 2, had ゲキニガスプレー(gekiniga-spray, ultra-bitter spray) and ゲキカラスプレー(gekikara-spray, ultra-spicy spray).
シゲキックス is famous for its super-sour taste.
I had a terribly simple idea to combine these 2 words to form up a name.
I prefer emoji commit prefixes, e.g.
✨(module name if monorepo): breif description of change
The list of prefix emoji-es is as follows.
| prefix | meaning |
|---|---|
| ✨ | new or change of features |
| 🐛 | bug fixes |
| 🚀 | performance optimization |
| 🧹 | cleaning / refactor |
| 🔥 | removing stuff |
| 📦 | moving files / bump dep versinons |
| ✅ | add / change tests |
| 📝 | add / change documents |
| 👷 | change of build / build constraint / CI/CD workflow |
This list is likely expanded in the future.
Only emoji-es which diplay well on all platforms I usually use (neovim, lazygit, web browser, other IDEs, etc) are chosen.
