Primer CSS
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.
Packages
The Primer CSS repo is managed as a monorepo that is composed of many npm packages.
Core Packages

Install
This repository is distributed with npm. After installing npm, you can install primer-css
with this command.
$ npm install --save primer-css
Usage
The source files included are written in Sass (SCSS). You can point your Sass include-path
at your project's node_modules
directory and import it like this:
@import "primer-css/index.scss";
You can import individual Primer modules by installing them with npm, for instance:
$ npm install --save primer-navigation
Then, you would import the module with:
@import "primer-navigation/index.scss";
Or, while you're figuring out which modules you need, you can import them directly from the primer-css
packages
directory like so:
@import "primer-css/packages/primer-navigation/index.css";
Build
For a compiled CSS version of this module, an npm script is included that will output a CSS version to build/build.css
. The built CSS file is also included in the npm package.
$ npm run build
