what is badges fr?

This repository is a reference list of small status badges you can paste into a GitHub or Bitbucket README file. Badges are the small colored labels that appear at the top of many open-source project pages, often showing things like build status, license type, test coverage, or which programming language a project uses. This repository collects hundreds of them with the exact Markdown code needed to display each one. The list is organized by topic. There are sections for general-purpose badges, GitHub-specific badges (stars, forks, contributors, open issues, pull requests, latest release), license badges (MIT, GPL, Creative Commons variants), and language-specific sections for Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript, and others. There is also a section for package registry badges covering PyPI download counts, version numbers, and Python version compatibility. Each entry shows what the rendered badge looks like alongside the code block you would copy into your README. Badges come from two main services: shields.io, which generates badges dynamically based on data it fetches from various sources, and forthebadge.com, which offers a set of fixed decorative badges with a larger, bolder style. Other sources include platform-specific integrations for tools like Read the Docs, Zenodo, Discord, and JetBrains. The repository also includes a reStructuredText version of the same list for projects that use that format instead of Markdown. Contributions are encouraged, and the README notes that people can add their own badges. This is a reference and copy-paste resource rather than a piece of runnable software. The full README is longer than what was shown.
