A few questions...

[thomask-gh]

Okay, I'm pretty confused. I'm trying to get started with Primer.css and maybe contribute to it and I have many problems and question. That would be amazing if someone nice could help the lost beginner that I am out of this hell! 😄

• I have no idea where I should post that in order to get help. I couldn't find anywhere else than here...
• How on Earth do I get a CSS file I can use on a website with all of Primer.css in it? The npm run build evoked in the README.md doesn't work for me, I don't know if I'm running it form the right place (although I think I tried everything imaginable) or if some file is missing, but I get an error (I can provide more info if needed to resolve this).
• Are really all the components used by GitHub (I mean on github.com) in this library?
• Why are all those modules scattered around so many repositories? I think it would be much better to keep the modular structure but to organize the modules in a way similar to how it's done in material components web.
• I have the feeling that only about half of the modules are mentioned in the documentation. That is very confusing because I don't know where I should look for components that suit my need. It doesn't seem that there is one place where I can easily find them all... Is the documentation so much incomplete or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

Could you be specific on the build error? Running the build is the best way to get the output, but you can also get it from npm. I mean if you npm install primer-css then the compiled css will be located in a node_packages/primer-css/build folder.

Yup all of them!

We're working on reorganizing right now #230

Unfortunately our primercss.io docs have fallen behind in terms of documentation coverage. What is there is accurate, but we've been focusing our efforts on rebuilding a documentation site that we hope to open source. In the mean time the content is in the individual repositories found in the README.md under the #docs section or in a /docs/ folder.
