Octocat Fill

The octocat-fill icon represents GitHub's official mascot and branding, the Octocat, used to identify GitHub-related features and repositories. Featuring the filled Octocat symbol, this icon is commonly used to indicate GitHub repositories, source code links, version control systems, and GitHub-specific integrations in development tools, portfolio sites, and documentation platforms.

In modern applications like developer portfolios showcasing GitHub profiles, documentation sites linking to source repositories, or IDE integrations like VS Code's GitHub extensions, you'll see this filled Octocat icon representing GitHub connections. It appears in project cards when linking to repositories, in footer sections when providing GitHub social links, or in authentication flows when enabling GitHub login and OAuth integrations.

From a developer community perspective, the filled Octocat logo communicates more than just 'version control' - it specifically indicates the GitHub platform's unique culture, the world's largest code hosting service, and the social coding practices that define modern software development collaboration. This platform clarity helps users identify GitHub-specific features and understand the collaborative infrastructure supporting projects.

Octocat Fill is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds OctocatFillIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-octocat-fill.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed OctocatFillIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Octocat Fill icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Octocat Fill", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OctocatFillIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OctocatFillIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are filled, Git, repository, github and version. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Octocat Fill in another set.

Akar Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Octocat Fill's siblings in it.
