Github 2

The GitHub-2 icon represents an alternative or secondary GitHub logo, often used for specific purposes such as branding or icon sets. This icon shares a similar meaning with the GitHub icon, signifying a connection to the GitHub platform and its services. The GitHub-2 icon may have a distinct design or style, but its significance remains tied to the GitHub community and its values.

In real-world applications, the GitHub-2 icon may appear in GitHub-themed merchandise, blog posts, or social media profiles. It can also be used in conjunction with other GitHub icons or logos to create a visually appealing design. For instance, developers might use the GitHub-2 icon in a GitHub Pages site or a personal blog to showcase their projects and contributions.

From a UX perspective, the GitHub-2 icon communicates a sense of familiarity and consistency with the GitHub brand. When users see this icon, they quickly recognize the connection to GitHub and understand that the content or tool is related to the platform. This icon helps users navigate to GitHub resources, access information, and engage with the GitHub community.

Github 2 is one of 486 icons in Pixelarticons, made by Gerrit Halfmann 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 Github2Icon to components/icons/pixelarticons-github-2.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 Github2Icon 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 Github 2 icon, or any of 486 Pixelarticons 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="Github 2", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. Github2Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <Github2Icon 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 Pixelarticons, Gerrit Halfmann and the license.

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

Its tags are development, software, coding, engineering, open-source and branding. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Github 2 in another set.
