About GitHub

GitHub is a developer platform for building software together, connecting code, collaboration, automation, and security from first commit to enterprise scale. Its identity pairs clear, direct communication with distinctive green accents and a developer-first focus.

Use GitHub's Invertocat mark as the compact platform identity. Choose the white or dark treatment that reads clearly against its background, and keep the silhouette and proportions intact.

Keep GitHub, Copilot and partner marks distinct. Product screenshots and interface controls do not replace the GitHub identity.

GitHub’s voice

GitHub’s voice is confident, direct, and grounded in the work developers do. It makes complex capabilities feel practical, emphasizing collaboration, momentum, and control. Address people as builders and collaborators, not as passive audiences.

• “Build, secure, and scale on one platform”
• “Move faster. Stay in control”
• “Software still starts with you”

Dos and don’ts

Do

• Use the GitHub mark as supplied and give it clear visual separation from surrounding content.
• Build contrast with GitHub’s green and neutral palette, using color according to its established role.
• Write in direct, active language that connects the work to outcomes such as building, securing, and shipping software.
• Keep the developer’s agency visible: describe GitHub and Copilot as tools that support people’s work and decisions.
• Show product features in the context of real development workflows when creating product-focused work.

Don’t

• Redraw, distort, or substitute another mark for the GitHub identity.
• Treat the bright palette green, website accent, and button green as interchangeable when a specific role matters.
• Use vague, inflated language where a clear description of the developer task or benefit would be more useful.
• Suggest that Copilot replaces developers or removes the need for human review and judgment.

GitHub imagery

89 images from github.com, in 2 files of the Brand Skill. Each file starts with its guidance, then shows the images it refers to.

Brand imagery

GitHub’s marketing imagery brings the product and developer community into view. Use branded backdrops and campaign artwork as visual assets, and let GitHub’s own product imagery support feature storytelling.

• A vibrant purple and pink 3D-rendered character looks up at a glowing white butterfly in this GitHub graphic.
• A clean, white graphic centered on the GitHub logo and the bold black text 'Software still starts with you'.
• An abstract UI wireframe of a GitHub repository page is rendered in a minimalist, grayscale vector style.

Download GitHub’s Brand Skill

A Brand Skill is a folder of brand guidance written for agents. Give it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another agent and ask it to followGitHub’s guidelines. It starts at SKILL.md, which points to the right file for each task.

It has the guidance, 91 images and the logos. The font files belong to GitHub, Inc, so they’re left out.
