GitHub badges in SVG format

Make your own badges! http://gh-badges.herokuapp.com

Contribute

If you want to add a badge, you only need to modify badges.json.

The format is the following:

/* Unique name of your badge. */
"build-passed": {
  /* Textual information shown, in order. */
  "text": [ "build", "passed" ],
  "colorscheme": "green"
}

Color schemes are located in colorscheme.json. Each scheme has a name and a CSS/SVG color for the color used in the first box (for the first piece of text, field colorA) and for the one used in the second box (field colorB).

"green": {
  "colorB": "#4c1"
}

Both colorA and colorB have default values. Usually, the first box uses the same dark grey, so you can rely on that default value by not providing a "colorA" field (such as above).

You can also use the "colorA" and "colorB" fields directly in the badges if you don't want to make a color scheme for it. In that case, remove the "colorscheme" field altogether.
