This is the original css that uses Github https://primer.style/css/getting-started
😄

This scrolls pres horizontally bad for me, the code overlaps and sticks out the edge of the pre and the pre moves inside of the div, not the code inside of the pre

@tuzz Thanks for publishing this:
I've reused your style sheet in a Windows batch script that converts a Markdown file to HTML, and displays it in a Web browser.
The batch is described here: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9372
And it is available there: https://github.com/JFLarvoire/SysToolsLib/blob/master/Batch/md2h.bat

For just wanting something that looks good enough to not have someone bother you about it, this plus Markdown is perfect.

I am glad to announce that this style sheet is used in my tiny humble project at https://github.com/ildar-shaimordanov/git-markdown-html.

Thanks!

I wish I was as skilled in CSS 😂
