Github Light

The GitHub Light icon represents GitHub, a web-based platform for social coding and version control. GitHub provides a platform for developers to collaborate on coding projects and host open-source software.

GitHub is used by developers, software engineers, and researchers to collaborate on coding projects. It is used in various industries such as technology, finance, and education.

The GitHub Light icon communicates community, collaboration, and openness, which are essential for social coding and open-source software development. It helps users understand that the platform provides a way to collaborate with others and share code.

Github Light is one of 397 icons in Skill Icons, made by tandpfun and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 256 × 256 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 GithubLightIcon to components/icons/skill-icons-github-light.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 GithubLightIcon 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 Light icon, or any of 397 Skill Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 256 × 256 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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 Light", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GithubLightIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GithubLightIcon 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 Skill Icons, tandpfun and the license.

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