Repository Badge

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. A badge displayed for a repository to show information such as build state, coverage, version, or license. In open-source culture, repository badges are quick signals, useful when they convey meaning and noisy when they become decoration.

    In plain English: A status badge shown for a repository.

    Example: "They kept only three repository badges because a wall of status icons was obscuring the actual quick-start guidance."
