Adding Emotes

There are three acceptable ways to include new emotes in the repository, in order of preference:

  1. Fork the repository on GitLab, and use git to push your emote and open a merge request.
  2. If you don't know how to open a merge request, you can open an issue with your emote attached.
  3. If you don't have a GitLab account and are reluctant to make one, email Seth Falco and attach your emote.

If you follow either option 2 or 3, you must do the following in your message:

  • Attach a copy of the CC BY 4.0 license, and declare that you understand the license terms.
  • Share the name and email address you'd like to use for attribution.
