Badger: Custom GitHub Badges Made Easy

Badger is an open-source Python library designed to simplify the creation, management, and customization of GitHub badges directly from the command line. Inspired by the challenges faced during the PapersWithData project, which involved data wrangling and badge creation, Badger addresses these issues by allowing users to create badges from local or remote SVG files, edit and store them, and easily manage configurations without the need for repeated manual code retrieval. It supports operations such as printing badges to Markdown, copying them to the clipboard, listing all badges, and cloning existing badges with variations. Badger also offers a playful feature that uses GPT-4 to generate AI-created SVG badges. The library is lightweight and user-friendly, intended to streamline badge management for all GitHub projects, and encourages users to explore other open-source projects by Voxel51, such as FiftyOne and VoxelGPT, to enhance their machine learning and computer vision workflows.
