### What and why
Primer is GitHub's internal CSS framework. It's not perfect, and it's not really built for others to use in their own projects. There's a lot we can improve upon in Primer, but there's a lot we can all learn by having it open-sourced. While we don't currently plan on building this out as a competitor to other front-end frameworks, we will ocassionally add, remove, or modify things as we need.
### Future updates
See the [roadmap](/roadmap) for a rough outline on what's slated for future versions of Primer.
### Dependencies
- Our styles are built with SCSS.
- Bower is used to link GitHub assets, namely our [Octicons](http://octicons.github.com) icon font and Markdown styles.
- Autoprefixer is used to generate vendor-prefixed declarations and is handled via our Gruntfile.
- A custom plugin for snippet and example combos, `example.rb`, was created as a fork of Jekyll's built-in `highlight` plugin.
### Who
Currently maintained by [@mdo](https://twitter.com/mdo), [@jonrohan](https://twitter.com/jonrohan), and the GitHub CSS team.
