Primer Jekyll Theme
The official GitHub Pages primer Jekyll theme. Clean, GitHub-style design with great readability — perfect for documentation and project pages.
About this Theme
Primer is the official GitHub Pages theme built on GitHub’s own design system — the same CSS framework that powers GitHub.com. The result is a site that feels immediately familiar and credible to developers: clean, neutral, readable, and professional without being flashy.
For open-source projects that want their documentation site to feel like a natural extension of GitHub itself, Primer is the natural choice. Its single-line setup makes it one of the easiest ways to put a well-designed page on GitHub Pages.
Who is it for? Open-source maintainers and developers who want documentation that looks authoritative and professional, with the familiar GitHub design language users already trust.
