This workaround is based on adding extra social media icons on Tesla theme Suarez created by Mihai.

You can surely try to add Github social to the theme's social array via code by editing the "suarez/theme_config/admin-options.php" file:


array(
'id'=>'social_platforms',
'type'=>'social_platforms',
'platforms'=>array('facebook','twitter','google','pinterest','linkedin','dribbble','behance','youtube','flickr','rss','github')
)
PHP



And also edit the footer,php file and add it to the social array as well:

$social_platforms = array(
'facebook',
'twitter',
'dribbble',
'youtube',
'rss',
'google',
'linkedin',
'pinterest',
'instagram',
'github'
);
PHP
