Buttons are used for **actions**, like in forms, while textual hyperlinks are used for **destinations**, or moving from one page to another.
## Default button
Use the standard—yet classy—`.btn` for form actions and primary page actions. These are used extensively around the site.
When using a `<button>` element, **always specify a `type`**. When using a `<a>` element, **always add `role="button"` for accessibility**.
```html live
<button class="btn mr-2" type="button">Button button</button>
<a class="btn" href="#url" role="button">Link button</a>
```
You can find them in two sizes: the default `.btn` and the smaller `.btn-sm`.
```html live
<button class="btn mr-2" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm" type="button">Small button</button>
```
## Primary button
Primary buttons are green and are used to indicate the _primary_ action on a page. When you need your buttons to stand out, use `.btn.btn-primary`. You can use it with both button sizes—just add `.btn-primary`.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-primary mr-2" type="button">Primary button</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" type="button">Small primary button</button>
```
## Danger button
Danger buttons are red. They help reiterate that the intended action is important or potentially dangerous (e.g., deleting a repo or transferring ownership). Similar to the primary buttons, just add `.btn-danger`.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-danger mr-2" type="button">Danger button</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-danger" type="button">Small danger button</button>
```
## Outline button
Outline buttons downplay an action as they appear like boxy links. Just add `.btn-outline` and go.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-outline mr-2" type="button">Outline button</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline" type="button">Outline button</button>
```
## Large button
Use `.btn-large` to increase the padding and border radius of a button. This is useful for prominent calls to action in hero sections.
[Type scale utilities](/support/typography#type-scale) can be used to alter the font-size if needed. Padding is applied in em's so that it scales proportionally with the font-size.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-large mr-2" type="button">Large button</button>
<a class="btn btn-large" href="#url" role="button">Large link button</a>
```
Use `.btn-large` with a type scale utility to transform the text to a bigger size.
```html live
<div class="f3">
<button class="btn btn-large btn-outline-blue mr-2" type="button">Large button button</button>
<a class="btn btn-large" href="#url" role="button">Large link button</a>
</div>
```
## Disabled state
Disable `<button>` and `<a>` elements with the `aria-disabled="true"` attribute.
```html live
<button class="btn mr-2" type="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</button>
<a class="btn" href="#url" role="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</a>
```
Similar styles are applied to primary, danger, and outline buttons:
```html live
<button class="btn btn-primary mr-2" type="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</button>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#url" role="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</a>
```
```html live
<button class="btn btn-danger mr-2" type="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</button>
<a class="btn btn-danger" href="#url" role="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</a>
```
```html live
<button class="btn btn-outline mr-2" type="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</button>
<a class="btn btn-outline" href="#url" role="button" aria-disabled="true">Disabled button</a>
```
## Block button
Make any button full-width by adding `.btn-block`. It adds `width: 100%;`, changes the `display` from `inline-block` to `block`, and centers the button text.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-block mb-2" type="button">Block button</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-block" type="button">Small block button</button>
```
## Link button
Create a button that looks like a link with `.btn-link`. Rather than using an `<a>` to trigger JS, this style on a `<button>` should be used for better accessibility.
**The `.btn-link` class is not designed to be used with `.btn`; the overlapping styles are not compatible.**
```html live
<button class="btn-link" type="button">Link button</button>
```
## Invisible button
When you want a link, but you want it padded and line heighted like a button best for "cancel" actions on forms.
```html live
<button class="btn btn-invisible" type="button">Cancel</button>
<button class="btn" type="button">Submit</button>
```
## Octicon button
Icon-only buttons that turn blue on hover. Use `.btn-octicon-danger` to turn an icon red on hover.
```html live
<button class="btn-octicon" type="button" aria-label="Desktop icon">

## Close button
When using the `octicon-x` icon for a close button, add `.close-button` to remove the default button styles.
```html live
<button class="close-button" type="button">

## Button with counts
You can easily append a count to a **small button**. Add the `.with-count` class to the `.btn-sm` and then add the `.social-count` after the button.
**Be sure to clear the float added by the additional class.**
```html live
<div class="clearfix">
<a class="btn btn-sm btn-with-count" href="#url" role="button">
<!-- <%= octicon "eye" %> -->
<svg class="octicon" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 16 16" width="16" height="16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M1.679 7.932c.412-.621 1.242-1.75 2.366-2.717C5.175 4.242 6.527 3.5 8 3.5c1.473 0 2.824.742 3.955 1.715 1.124.967 1.954 2.096 2.366 2.717a.119.119 0 010 .136c-.412.621-1.242 1.75-2.366 2.717C10.825 11.758 9.473 12.5 8 12.5c-1.473 0-2.824-.742-3.955-1.715C2.92 9.818 2.09 8.69 1.679 8.068a.119.119 0 010-.136zM8 2c-1.981 0-3.67.992-4.933 2.078C1.797 5.169.88 6.423.43 7.1a1.619 1.619 0 000 1.798c.45.678 1.367 1.932 2.637 3.024C4.329 13.008 6.019 14 8 14c1.981 0 3.67-.992 4.933-2.078 1.27-1.091 2.187-2.345 2.637-3.023a1.619 1.619 0 000-1.798c-.45-.678-1.367-1.932-2.637-3.023C11.671 2.992 9.981 2 8 2zm0 8a2 2 0 100-4 2 2 0 000 4z"></path></svg>
<span>Watch</span>
</a>
<a class="social-count" href="#url">6</a>
</div>
```
You can also use the [counter](./labels#counters) component within buttons:
```html live
<button class="btn mr-2" type="button">
Button <span class="Counter">12</span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary mr-2" type="button">
Button <span class="Counter">12</span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger mr-2" type="button">
Button <span class="Counter">12</span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline" type="button">
Button <span class="Counter">12</span>
</button>
```
## Button groups
Have a hankering for a series of buttons that are attached to one another? Wrap them in a `.BtnGroup` and the buttons will be rounded and spaced automatically.
```html live
<div class="BtnGroup mr-2">
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
</div>
<div class="BtnGroup mr-2">
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-outline" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-outline" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-outline" type="button">Button</button>
</div>
<div class="BtnGroup">
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-sm" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-sm" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item btn-sm" type="button">Button</button>
</div>
```
Add `.BtnGroup-parent` to parent elements, like `<form>`s or `<details>`s, within `.BtnGroup`s for proper spacing and rounded corners.
```html live
<div class="BtnGroup">
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
<form class="BtnGroup-parent">
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button in a form</button>
</form>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
<button class="btn BtnGroup-item" type="button">Button</button>
</div>
```
## Hidden text button
Use `.hidden-text-expander` to indicate and toggle hidden text.
```html live
<span class="hidden-text-expander">
<button type="button" class="ellipsis-expander" aria-expanded="false">&hellip;</button>
</span>
```
You can also make the expander appear inline by adding `.inline`.
