Emojify Jekyll Markdown: GEmoji

jekyll-emoji plugin is required for emojifying jekyll content using tokens like {{ ":sunglasses:" : emojify }} in markdown of posts and pages of jekyll
First you need to copy plugin ruby file named emoji.rb from github to jekyll’s _plugins directory as one time step
As jekyll-emoji liquid filter internally uses gemoji. First install gemoji ruby gem as mentioned below
- In Gemfile add following line gem "gemoji", "~> 2.1.0"
- Or alternatively execute gem install gemoji (not preffered)
- Modify _config.yml jekyll file for plugin and configuration as

#Gemoji plugin settings
emoji_dir: "/sachingpta.gitlab.io/assets/images/emoji"

#Gemoji plugin addition
gems:
  - gemoji

Note in codeblock /sachingpta.gitlab.io is added to emoji_dir to shift code for gitlab. /sachingpta.gitlab.io is the name of gitlab project.
emoji_dir: reperesent paths where emotiocons are extracted and used like emoji_dir: "/sachingpta.gitlab.io/assets/images/emoji"
To add emoji’s anywhere in html or markdown files processed by liquid in posts or pages use tokens like {{ ":sunglasses:" : emojify }}
(this will not work inside _layouts folder and starting with —\r\n—)
