What it is
This is a curated collection of README badges, which are small logo-style images that link to or describe a skill, tool, or service. The README lists many badges grouped by category, such as academic tools, analytics, AI, and cloud, each with a copyable image URL built on shields.io. You copy a badge's URL or image tag into your GitHub profile README to show your tools and interests.
- Add a row of tool badges (languages, frameworks, editors) to your GitHub profile README
- Link a sponsor or stargazers badge at the top of a project README
- Pick badges for an academic profile, such as ORCID or Google Scholar
Great for
- Developers who want a tidy tech-stack section on their GitHub profile
- People who want to show academic profiles such as ORCID, Google Scholar, or Zotero
- Anyone who prefers copy-paste over designing their own badges
Not ideal for
- People who need custom badge text or colors beyond what the collection provides, since the badges are prebuilt image URLs
- Projects that need live status or build badges, because this collection is for static profile decoration
