Adding Custom GitHub Badges to Your Repo

GitHub has a great feature that allows you to add custom badges to your repos. These badges provide helpful information about your project such as its current version number, build status, or number of open issues. By adding badges to your repo, you can make your repo more informative and easier for potential users to discover and use.

Steps for Adding a Custom Badge to Your Repo

1. Create a badge that reflects the information you want to show.
   
   There are many sites, such as Shields.io, which provide tools for creating custom badges. You can specify the type of badge (e.g., build status, coverage, etc.), label, color, text, and link. Once you create the badge, Shields.io will generate HTML code that you can use to add the badge to your repo.
2. Copy the HTML code generated by the site hosting your badge.
   
   You'll need this code in order to embed your badge into your repo's README file.
3. Open your repo's README file.
   
   If it doesn't exist, you can create one. You'll need to be in the root directory of your repo in order to open or create the README file.
4. Paste the HTML code into the README file.
   
   This will add the badge to your repo. It should appear prominently, usually at the top of the page.
5. Commit the changes to your README file.
   
   Your badge is now live on your repo!

Conclusion

Adding custom badges to your repo is a great way to show important information about your project. It makes it easier for potential users to quickly determine your project's status and whether it's worth their time. With just a few steps, you can add a custom badge to your repo and make it more informative and user-friendly.
