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 is drawn on a strict pixel grid with hard edges and no curves that rely on anti-aliasing. That is the point: it stays crisp at exact multiples of its native size. It suits retro, game and terminal-inspired interfaces, and looks wrong if you scale it to arbitrary sizes.

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 — Pixel Art Icons

npm install pixelarticons

<!-- Direct SVG import (recommended) -->
<img src="node_modules/pixelarticons/svg/github.svg" alt="github" width="24" height="24">

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.
