**Fork Awesome is a suite of 796 pictographic and brand icons for easy, scalable vector graphics on websites and beyond.**
|
|
|
|
This project, as the name suggests, began as a fork of [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com). Font Awesome was originally created by [Dave Gandy](https://twitter.com/davegandy) and ran as a community project. However, as Font Awesome developed, pull requests from the community stopped being accepted (October 2016) and as of version 5.0 [the build system became private](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/12199#issuecomment-362919956) (February 2018).
|
|
|
|
With gratitude to Dave Gandy and the Font Awesome team, [Julien](https://github.com/xuv) [Deswaef](https://merveilles.town/@xuv) forked Font Awesome 4.7 into [Fork Awesome 1.0](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/releases/tag/1.0.0) in February 2018, to continue building the amazing resource in a fully free, libre and open-source fashion, with and for the wider community. After a period of extended inactivity (i.e. no release since February 2019), several Fork Awesome users [got](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/292) [together](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/235) to try and revive the project 🌱
|
|
|
|
We are now catching up with backlogged issues and pull requests, updating technology and documentation — even reevaluating the project aims, as icon fonts gradually [become](https://www.irigoyen.dev/blog/2021/02/17/stop-using-icon-fonts/) [deprecated](https://cloudfour.com/thinks/seriously-dont-use-icon-fonts/). Come say hi in the [#forkawesome:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#forkawesome:matrix.org) matrix room 🙂

|
|
## How to use
|
|
There is a full page in our documentation website that explains [how to use Fork Awesome in your web project](https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/get-started/). It ranges from just pointing to a CSS file on a CDN, hosting it on your own server or even adapting the LESS and SCSS files to your own liking.

## Versioning
|
|
|
|
Fork Awesome will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered
|
|
with the following format:
|
|
|
|
`<major>.<minor>.<patch>`
|
|
|
|
And constructed with the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
* Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
|
|
* Big changes, without breaking backward compatibility, bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
|
|
* Bug fixes, small adaptations, adding a few icons and misc changes bumps the patch
|
|
* The fork started from FontAwesome 4.7 (last commit by Dave is [bdfa9823](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/commits/master?after=b0bc8f6fb74e05c987ef7ce1525cd3ab8390a1c3+69)).
|
|
* The project starts at version 1.0.0. All references to versions before the fork are named 0.4.7

## Building Fork Awesome
|
|
|
|
**Before you can build the project**, you must first have the following installed:
|
|
|
|
- [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
|
|
- Ruby Development Headers
|
|
- **Ubuntu:** `sudo apt-get install ruby-dev` *(Only if you're __NOT__ using `rbenv` or `rvm`)*
|
|
- **Windows:** [DevKit](http://rubyinstaller.org/)
|
|
- **macOS:** no extra step required
|
|
- [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) (Run `gem install bundler` to install).
|
|
- [Node Package Manager (aka. `npm`)](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node)
|
|
- Tools required to build the font:
|
|
- **Ubuntu:** `sudo apt-get install fontforge woff-tools woff2`
|
|
|
|
From the root of the repository, install the tools used to develop.
|
|
|
|
$ bundle install
|
|
$ npm ci
|
|
|
|
Build the font:
|
|
|
|
$ make -C src/icons
|
|
|
|
Build the web documentation:
|
|
|
|
$ npm run build
|
|
|
|
Or serve it on a local server on http://localhost:7998:
|
|
|
|
$ npm run dev
|
|
|
|
### Build the font in a Docker container
|
|
|
|
Another possibility is to build the font using the Dockerfile provided.
|
|
|
|
First, build the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
$ docker build -t fa-builder .
|
|
|
|
Then, run the Docker container:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run --rm -it \
|
|
-u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
|
|
-v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
|
|
-w $(pwd) \
|
|
fa-builder
|
|
|
|
Within the container, build the font:
|
|
|
|
$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle
|
|
$ npm ci
|
|
$ make -C src/icons
|
|
