FAQ

What is shields.io?

Shields.io is a service that generates SVG badges for use in README files. It provides both static custom badges and dynamic badges that pull data from services like npm, GitHub, and CI providers.

What badge styles are available?

Shields.io supports multiple styles: flat (default), flat-square, plastic, for-the-badge (larger), and social (GitHub-style). You can also customize colors and add logos.

How do I add badges to my README?

Copy the generated Markdown or HTML code and paste it at the top of your README.md file. Badges are typically placed right after the project title on the same line or in a row below it.
