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.
## License
It is also possible to use the icons directly as SVG. They are located in [`src/icons/svg`](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/tree/master/src/icons/svg). We don't have accompanying documentation for this usage yet.

## Building Fork Awesome
⚠️ The Fork Awesome build process has been neglected for some time. The instructions below seem to work for modern Linux installations as far as building the fonts, but not building the site. One repeatable workaround is to follow the instructions using [Ubuntu 18.04](https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso), optionally within a [VirtualBox Virtual Machine](https://www.virtualbox.org/). We're working on it... ⚠️
**Before you can build the project**, you must first have the following installed:
- [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
