Is this “every commit message starts with an emoji” style used on this project a widely practiced thing? Makes my muscle memory for quick reading a GitHub repo go all weird with almost every line above the README in the file listing starting with a picture. I appreciate personal preferences differ.

It's effing annoying, emoji has no place in professional discourse
First time I've seen it, but I kind of dig it. Saves space vs "REFACTOR:", "BUGFIX:", etc
Except in this case it doesn't even save space because they have the word as well.
Definitely not widely practiced but many people seem to like it, me included :smile
