README Badge Generator
Enter a GitHub repo and get the Markdown for README badges — CI status, licence, stars, npm version and downloads — in one go.
Runs in your browser: input and output are never sent to the server, and the platform does not store your input.

FAQ
The badge says “repo not found”?
shields.io can only read public repos. For a private repo's CI status, use GitHub's built-in workflow badge, which is visible to signed-in members.
The CI badge keeps showing “no status”?
The workflow must have run at least once, and the file name must match the one in .github/workflows.
Do badges update live?
Yes, but image caching at shields.io and GitHub can delay changes by a few minutes.
Is my input uploaded?
No. The Markdown is built in your browser; the badge images are later fetched from shields.io by whoever views the README.
