In plain words

This tool allows developers to style external SVG files using CSS by injecting stylesheets into them. It solves the limitation where SVG files loaded as images or objects cannot be directly styled with CSS. The solution is useful for web developers who need customizable SVG graphics without embedding them inline in HTML. The project is available on GitHub.
