How do you use GitHub's primer and octicons?

[edit] short answer: include node_modules/octicons/build/font/octicons.css

This works, without svg icons. If you want to use the svg icons, you should probably include the images using <img> tags. However, using a font makes this a lot easier.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Hello Primer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/primer-css/build/build.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/octicons/build/font/octicons.css">
</head>

<body>
    <form>
        <div class="input-group">
            <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Username">
            <span class="input-group-button">
                <button class="btn">
                    <span class="octicon octicon-clippy"></span>
                </button>
            </span>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>

</html>

Edit

And if you really feel the need for it, here is an version using svg's:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Hello Primer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/primer-css/build/build.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/octicons/build/octicons.css">
</head>

<body>
    <form>
        <div class="input-group">
            <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Username">
            <span class="input-group-button">
                <button class="btn">
                    <span class="octicon octicon-clippy"></span>
                    <img src="node_modules/octicons/lib/svg/clippy.svg"></img>
                </button>
            </span>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>

</html>

Why don't we just use cdn link, or download from there?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Primer/3.0.1/css/primer.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/octicons/3.5.0/octicons.min.css">

Use Bower to install Octicons.

bower.json:

{
    "name": "my-app",
    ...
    "dependencies": {   
        "octicons": "4.3.0",
    }
}

Then link to wherever your bower libraries are being held:

<link href="/libs/octicons/build/font/octicons.css" rel="stylesheet">
