Using GitHub's icons 'Octicons' with Rails 5

Since Bootstrap 4 has deprecated the Glyphicons icon font, I decided to use GitHub’s Octicons instead. Here’s a quick note.

First, install the Octicons rails helper via bundle.

Let’s give it a try.

<%= octicon "alert", :height => 32,  :class => "right left", :"aria-label" => "hi" %>

It worked.
