Create a GitHub-style button using HTML/CSS

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through creating a GitHub-style button using HTML and CSS. GitHub is a playground for developers, and as a developer, it’s worthwhile to explore.

Here is the specific code:

HTML

<button class="btn">
  <svg width="40" height="40" fill="#0092E4" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" data-name="Layer 1" viewBox="0 0 24 24" id="github">
