Frequently asked questions
Where do the badges come from?

How do I add a technology logo?
Type the icon name in the Logo field, lowercase and without spaces, such as python, react, javascript, docker or github. The names come from the Simple Icons catalog.
Can I make dynamic badges?
Yes. The npm version, GitHub license and downloads templates use dynamic shields.io URLs that update themselves. Replace user/repository with yours.
