# README badge builder — Shields.io Markdown, no upload

> Build Shields.io README badges and copy the Markdown, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — badge config stays in the tab.

Build Shields.io-style badges for your README — build status, version, license, and custom labels — and copy the Markdown. The builder runs in the browser with no upload.

Badges give a README an at-a-glance status line — version, build, license — that signals a project is maintained. Building the exact Markdown, with matching colors, saves fiddling with Shields.io URL syntax by hand.

Complete your project's front matter with the LICENSE, .gitignore, and meta-tag generators.

## How to

1. **Pick a badge.** Choose a preset or a custom label/message.
2. **Style it.** Set colors and style to match your README.
3. **Copy Markdown.** Copy the Markdown snippet into your README.

## FAQ

### What badges can I make?

Common ones like build, version, license, and coverage, plus custom label/message badges in any color — the same family you see atop most GitHub READMEs.

### Do I get Markdown or HTML?

Markdown by default so it drops straight into a README; the image URL works in HTML contexts too.

### Is anything uploaded?

No. The badge Markdown is generated locally in the tab.
