Definitions

  1. A badge shown in a project README or site to display status information such as build health, version, coverage, or license. In open-source culture project badges are quick visual signals about a repository's state and priorities.

    In plain English: A status badge displayed for a project.

    Example: "The maintainers trimmed the project badges down to the ones that actually told users something useful instead of covering the README in decorative noise."
