What is GitHub Badge Maker?
Useful when you want a one-off custom badge without depending on a third-party service URL (which can break, slow your page, or leak the README's loader). The badge is generated entirely in your browser as a small standalone SVG you commit alongside your README.
FAQ
- How is this different from Shields.io?
- Shields.io hosts the badge — if their service is down or slow, your README looks broken. This tool emits a local SVG file you commit, no external dependency.
- Can I use the badge in other platforms besides GitHub?
- Yes, the SVG badge can be used anywhere that supports SVG, and it's generated entirely in your browser.
- Do I need to host the badge image?
- No, copy the SVG code directly; the badge is created locally without any external hosting required.
