About this icon
Use the Github icon
Icons in the fill style — like Github — are designed for interface components and product UI. Use it across developer tools, CLI documentation, API dashboards, GitHub-integrated UIs, code editors, and DevOps panels for a consistent, professional look.
IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.
Export formats
Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.
All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Github icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.
Design & UX integration
Aesthetic characteristics
Github comes from Google's Material Design icon set, which ships five coordinated themes: Outlined, Rounded, Sharp, Two Tone and Filled. Outlined is the default for dense UI, Filled reads better for selected or active states, and all five share identical geometry — so you can swap themes without shifting your layout by a pixel.
UX best practices
In code editors, admin systems and developer tooling, the Github icon should read as a function, not as decoration. Pair it with monospace labels for alignment, and prefer tooltips over inline captions in toolbars where vertical space is scarce and the audience already knows the domain.
Use in your project
React / npm — Material Design Icons
npm install @mui/icons-material
import GithubOutlined from '@mui/icons-material/GithubOutlined';
// JSX usage:
<GithubOutlined fontSize="small" />Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Github icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
