Primer

To celebrate Primer's 10th birthday, here's a blog post blog post from @colebemis about a color tool we built to work on dark mode and other themes, which we've open-sourced so you can check it out for yourselves 🤩 github.blog/2022-06-14-acc…

10 years ago today a ruby gem named Primer was created, which later became a CSS framework, and continued to expand into Primer design system including Rails and React components. Design Systems are never done right? Happy Birthday Primer!🥳

@pavelkeyzik Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hey folks, we're looking for a Senior Manager to lead the Primer engineering team at GitHub! If you have a passion for design systems and want to lead the team that builds an important part of GitHub's front-end infrastructure, consider applying: boards.greenhouse.io/github/jobs/34…

"If it's not documented, you're not going on vacation!" - check out @auareyou's #config2021 talk on being replaceable ✨

Primer started as a gem file of useful CSS & assets, later became a CSS framework, a React component library, and over the last year or so, components for Rails. Full circle, you now install Primer as a gem again! Interested in working on this? Apply here boards.greenhouse.io/github/jobs/31…

@JesseThomasBox We generally default to open-sourcing and publicly sharing Primer libraries and tools, so most likely we can make this public too when it's a bit more fleshed out.

This week dark & dimmed mode were made generally available 🚀 github.blog/changelog/2021… We're working on more themes, such as high contrast and color blind friendly themes. Here's a sneak peak of a tool the team is building to make developing and testing new color themes easier 👀

@gr2m Thanks! h/t @ampinsk for leading the work on these guidelines!

What are the best documentation sites you've interacted with and what made them great? 📚

We’re experimenting with introducing CSS encapsulation to Rails (with View Components). What parts of CSS Modules, and Styled Components or Emotion etc. would you want to take with you to another framework?

Did you know we have components in Rails? Check out this post from @joelhawksley who has been developing ViewComponent and bringing encapsulation to our views github.blog/2020-12-15-enc…

We're so happy to be able to give you a dark theme finally! We'll share more on the how soon, and will be shipping this to all parts of Primer (CSS, React, ViewComponents, design guidelines) in the near future!

I am extremely proud of my team. It's been months in the making, and though there's much more to do, today's ship is a big milestone. The updates to GitHub's design and repo homepage are the result of thoughtful incremental work by the @githubprimer team💖 github.blog/changelog/2020…
