GitHub Basic Badges

Basic badges for using with GitHub, and a service that you can deploy and create your own service to serve the GitHub badges.

Motivation

I know there are alots of services that you can generate badges for GitHub, i just developed one more to play around with Ruby and Heroku.

Badges

All the URL Patterns showed in the table bellow must be used as <app-url>\<url-pattern>.

URL Pattern	Description	Preview
downloads/<user>/<repo>/total.svg	Sum of downloads of all artifacts in the latest release.
downloads/<user>/<repo>/<tag>/total.svg	Sum of downloads of all artifacts in the release with the <tag>
downloads/<user>/<repo>/<file>.svg	Total downloads of the artifact named <file> in the latest release.
downloads/<user>/<repo>/<tag>/<file>.svg	Total downloads of an artifact named <file> in the release with a tag name <tag>.
release/<user>/<repo>.svg	Latest release tag name.
issues/<user>/<repo>.svg	Total issues open.
commits/<user>/<repo>.svg	Total commits.
license/<user>/<repo>.svg	Project LICENSE.
pulls/<user>/<repo>.svg	Project open pull requests.

Custom colors and text

You can customize the colors and the text of the badges, just use color and text parameters in the url, like customizing the last release example, check below:

For colors you can use any hex colors you want, and some basic already defined, check the file badge.rb for some basic colors.

Deploying on Heroku

Install heroku toolbet and log to it after that, it's pretty straigth forward deploying on heroku, just do the following:

# Cloning the repository
git clone https://github.com/kennedyoliveira/github-basic-badges.git
cd github-basic-badges

# Create a heroku app
heroku create

# Push the code to heroku
git push heroku master

# Open the app
heroku open

Mine Heroku App

My instance is running in the following url https://github-basic-badges.herokuapp.com you can use it to generate badges for your repos!

If you have any question or suggestion, open an issue!
