Social Github

The social-github icon represents GitHub, a web-based platform for version control and collaboration on software development projects. GitHub is widely used by developers, researchers, and organizations to host and manage their code repositories. The platform allows users to collaborate on code, track changes, and maintain a history of all modifications.

GitHub icons are commonly used in software development tools, integrated development environments (IDEs), and project management applications. For example, a code editor like Visual Studio Code or a project management tool like Jira might use the GitHub icon to represent integration with the platform or to indicate that users can access their GitHub repositories directly from the application.

From a UX perspective, the social-github icon communicates a sense of collaboration, version control, and community involvement. When users see this icon, they understand that they can access their code repositories, collaborate with others, or contribute to open-source projects.

Social Github is one of 336 icons in Typicons, made by Stephen Hutchings and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. 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 SocialGithubIcon to components/icons/typcn-social-github.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 SocialGithubIcon 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 Social Github icon, or any of 336 Typicons 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="Social Github", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SocialGithubIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SocialGithubIcon 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, with conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Stephen Hutchings), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Stephen Hutchings, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.

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