Here’s a simple way to auto-generate badges for your README file:
-
Choose a Badge Service: You can use badge services like Shields.io or Badgen.net. They offer a variety of badges like build status, license, version, etc.
-
Use the Badge URLs: Most services allow you to generate a badge by using a URL format. Here’s how to do it with Shields.io:
