From the README
This is home to Shields.io, a service for concise, consistent, and legible badges in SVG and raster format, which can easily be included in GitHub readmes or any other web page. The service supports dozens of continuous integration services, package registries, distributions, app stores, social networks, code coverage services, and code analysis services. Every month it serves over 1.6 billion images and is used by some of the world's most popular open-source projects, VS Code, Vue.js and Bootstrap to name a few.
Browse a complete list of badges and locate a particular badge by using the search bar or by browsing the categories. Click on the badge to fill in required data elements for that badge type (like your username or repo) and optionally customize (label, colors etc.). And it's ready for use!
Use the button at the bottom to copy your badge url or snippet, which can then be added to places like your GitHub readme files or other web pages.
