🤔 FAQ
Q: Why won't my badge lead anywhere?
View Answer:
By default, (mostly) all badges have (#) at the end of their code to define a link.
You need to replace the (#) with a link that you'd like the badge to go to when clicked on.
For example, if the code is:
[](#)
...you'll need to replace the (#) with a link (eg. https://github.com/inttter).
If the code is a dynamically updating badge such as this one:
[](https://github.com/badges/shields/releases)
You must replace 'saadeghi' with your GitHub username/organization, and 'daisyUI' with your repository name. This includes the redirect URL aswell.
Q: Can I customize these badges?
View Answer:
Yes, please refer to the Styles and Customization documentations for how to style and customize your badges.
Q: Can I use badges on any repository hosting platform?
View Answer:
As long as they support Markdown rendering, you can.
If you need more info, consult the help page for your platform.
Q: Do these only work in Markdown?
View Answer:
No, you can also use them in HTML, by using <a> tags to link to a website, and <img src> tags to display the badge.
Here's how you may format it if you were to link the badge to a website inside of a HTML file:
<a href="https://kotlinlang.org">
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Kotlin-%237F52FF.svg?logo=kotlin&logoColor=white" alt="Kotlin">
</a>
