FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Gist Secret icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The gist-secret icon represents a private code snippet or a secret repository on GitHub. A secret gist is a code snippet or a repository that is only accessible to authorized users.
In software development, secret gists are often used to share sensitive code snippets or projects with a limited audience. The gist-secret icon is used on GitHub to represent a secret gist or a private repository.
From a UX perspective, the gist-secret icon communicates that a code snippet or a repository is private or sensitive. It helps users understand that they need to have permission to access the code snippet or repository.
Gist Secret is one of 901 icons in Octicons, made by GitHub and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 14 × 16 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 GistSecretIcon to components/icons/octicon-gist-secret.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 GistSecretIcon 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 Gist Secret icon, or any of 901 Octicons 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 14 × 16 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="Gist Secret", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. GistSecretIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GistSecretIcon 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 Octicons, GitHub and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
