Shields.io: Quality metadata badges for open source projects

Re:Shields.io: Quality metadata badges for open source projects by tikkabhuna on Wednesday November 06, 2019 @09:34AM (#21462938)

Didn't realise Gitlab supported that. We've been putting some badges in our READMEs. Typically those from the Gitlab CI page.

What does annoy me is the classic Gitlab "MVP" approach. Under Gitlab CI -> General Pipelines is some badge code I can copy. There's no mention that I can add them to the badge section of the project, nor is there anything in General -> Badges section to say "Add Pipeline status". I have to copy the link/img URLs myself.

That's a great point, @tikkabhuna!

It seems like fixing that problem you describe could be a good way to improve the discoverability of the mentioned Badges area.

I've taken the liberty of documenting this in an issue [1] and putting forward a proposal. Would something like what I wrote there solve this problem for you?

If you have any more feedback to add, feel free to drop a comment.

I work as a Frontend Engineering Manager at GitLab and will raise the visibility of this issue to the right folks to get this on their radar.

Thanks for mentioning this.

Thanks andr3. That captures my thoughts perfectly. :-)

Its great to see such an open company. My boss and I frequently check Gitlab issues and look forward to release on the 22nd. :thumbsup:
