  Accelerating new GitHub Actions workflows

  

Figma recently announced its new Variables product, allowing you to define and manage your design tokens directly within Figma. I have been experimenting with Figma Variables for a few weeks and am reasonably impressed with how it works. In this article, I'll share how I've been using Figma Variables to support my design projects and how I've been syncing them with my codebase with GitHub Actions and StyleDictionary, utilising a dev preview of the Figma API. For this article, I’ll focus primarily on syncing these variables one way from Figma to GitHub, making Figma the source of truth for all my design tokens.
