Introduction
Every week on Rubber Duck Thursdays, the GitHub team streams live coding sessions, co-working with the community, and answering burning questions. Recently, we tackled a fun and practical project: an emoji list generator powered by the GitHub Copilot CLI. This tool saves you from manually hunting for the perfect emoji for your bullet lists—whether for tweets, launch notes, or PR descriptions.

Let’s dive in!
