About this icon

Use the Git Merge 16 icon

This outline icon from Octicons works well across developer tools, CLI documentation, API dashboards, GitHub-integrated UIs, code editors, and DevOps panels. The outline visual style is specifically suited for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical.

Customize it in IconStash: pick a color preset or enter any hex code, set exact dimensions, adjust stroke weight, then copy SVG code or download a PNG — no account needed.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Git Merge 16 icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Octicons is GitHub's own icon set, so Git Merge 16 is tuned for the density of GitHub's interface — small default sizes, tight shapes, and silhouettes that stay identifiable at 16px. That makes it a reliable baseline for developer tooling, code review screens and anything code-adjacent.

UX best practices

In code editors, admin systems and developer tooling, the Git Merge 16 icon should read as a function, not as decoration. Pair it with monospace labels for alignment, and prefer tooltips over inline captions in toolbars where vertical space is scarce and the audience already knows the domain.

Use in your project

React / npm — Octicons

npm install @primer/octicons-react

import { GitMerge16Icon } from '@primer/octicons-react';

// JSX usage:
<GitMerge16Icon size={24} />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Git Merge 16 icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
