About this data

This page visualises the temporal drift of emoji sentiment within GitHub commit messages. We analyse the sentiment of each emoji by assigning it a numerical score, and then calculate the average sentiment and its standard deviation across all commit messages for a given project. This offers a unique perspective on developer mood and project health, distinct from general text sentiment analysis or commit frequency metrics. By observing trends in emoji sentiment, you can gain insights into team morale, periods of stress or excitement, and the overall atmosphere surrounding a project's development.
