How do I change the size of the Git Commit Outline icon?

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

How do I make the Git Commit Outline icon accessible?

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Git Commit Outline", so screen readers say what it does.
