What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#using-emojis

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

This article currently has a link labeled "the Emoji-Cheat-Sheet" that links to
https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/master/README.md

Unfortunately, the maintainer of that repository is no longer keeping that branch up to date.

However, it does have a action that runs every day and keeps the github-actions-auto-update branch fully up-to-date at all times, so this could be fixed as simply as linking to https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/github-actions-auto-update/README.md instead.

Alternatively, it is probably possible to port that to something that could be used directly in the docs site.

@kevincathcart-cas I don't see a problem with the change. I might check and see why we're linking to some random non-GitHub repo at all, but we're already doing it, so I don't see any harm in updating the link. Feel free to open a PR!
