GitHub Project Badges
for READMEs, release pages & docs
Publish dynamic repository shields that show live stars, forks, watchers, issues, release data, and sync status. EzBanners gives you production-ready badge endpoints for open source landing pages, changelogs, GitHub READMEs, and developer docs.
⭐ Live repository metrics • 📦 Release-ready embeds • 🔗 Easy Markdown snippets • 🧩 Shared badge language across EzBanners docs
What the endpoint does
Each badge is generated from /shields/github-projects/{githubProject}/{metric}.png so your repository assets stay live without exporting static images.
Key repository signals
Surface stars, forks, watchers, issues-open, latest-release, and status wherever developers evaluate your project.
Built for GitHub workflows
Use the same badge URLs in README headers, release notes, docs sites, package pages, newsletters, or project launch announcements.
README trust badges
Expose stars, forks, and latest-release directly under your project title so contributors instantly see momentum.
Great for open source homepages and package repositories.
Release & changelog badges
Highlight latest-release and status in release pages, docs sidebars, or customer-facing product updates.
Useful when you want product and engineering updates to stay aligned.
Issue visibility badges
Use issues-open and watchers in docs portals or maintenance dashboards to summarize repository activity at a glance.
Perfect for engineering teams that maintain multiple public repos.
Landing page badges
Embed repo and growth-focused metrics in launch pages, feature overviews, or marketing docs without hand-updating assets after every release.
That keeps non-GitHub pages synchronized with your repository health.
Copy patterns for Markdown, HTML, and release notes
Markdown for README files
HTML for docs or landing pages

Show project momentum
Visitors can evaluate activity, popularity, and release freshness in a single glance before they read your full documentation.
Reduce manual updates
Because the endpoints are dynamic, your badges stay current as repository counts change and new releases ship.
Keep product messaging aligned
The same endpoint language appears in EzBanners docs, public project pages, and badge galleries, which keeps implementation simple.
Learn the endpoint once, reuse it everywhere
