How to get badges in github?

[rubayet36]

GitHub badges are visual indicators that highlight your activity, skills, or achievements on GitHub. They help make your profile or repository more informative and attractive at a glance.

There are two main types of GitHub badges. Official GitHub achievements are awarded automatically by GitHub based on your actions, such as contributing to repositories, getting pull requests merged, closing issues quickly, or receiving stars on your projects. You do not need to apply for these badges—GitHub tracks your activity and displays them on your profile once you meet the criteria.

The second type is README badges, which developers add manually to their profile or project README files. These badges are created using services like Shields.io and are used to show technologies you use, project status, GitHub statistics, or links to external platforms. To use them, you create or edit a README.md file and insert badge images using Markdown. These badges are customizable and are commonly used to present skills such as React, Java, or Spring Boot, as well as repository stars and follower counts.

Overall, GitHub badges help showcase your contributions, technical stack, and engagement in the developer community, making your profile more professional and easier to understand.
