> Primer is the CSS framework that powers GitHub's front-end design. Primer CSS includes 23 packages that are grouped into 3 core meta-packages for easy install. Each package and meta-package is independently versioned and distributed via npm, so it's easy to include all or part of Primer within your own project.

This repository is a compilation of [several CSS modules](https://github.com/primer).

## Install

This repository is distributed with [npm][npm]. After [installing npm][install-npm], you can install `Primer-CSS` with this command.

```

The source files included are written in [Sass][sass] (`scss`) You can simply point your sass `include-path` at your `node_modules` directory and import it like this.

You can also import specific portions of the module by importing those partials from the `/lib/` folder. _Make sure you import any requirements along with the modules._
