Primer CSS

Our internal CSS toolkit and guidelines. 

NPM version Build Status
Primer is the CSS toolkit that powers GitHub's front-end design. It's purposefully limited to common components to provide our developers with the most flexibility, and to keep GitHub uniquely GitHubby. It's built with SCSS and available via NPM, so it's easy to include all or part of it within your own project.
This repository is a compilation of several CSS modules.
