# Badges
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41174)
|
|
in GitLab 10.7.
|
|
|
|
Badges are a unified way to present condensed pieces of information about your
|
|
projects. They consist of a small image and additionally a URL that the image
|
|
points to. Examples for badges can be the [pipeline status], [test coverage],
|
|
or ways to contact the project maintainers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Project badges
|
|
|
|
Badges can be added to a project and will then be visible on the project's overview page.
|
|
If you find that you have to add the same badges to several projects, you may want to add them at the [group level](#group-badges).
|
|
|
|
To add a new badge to a project:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Badges**.
|
|
1. Under "Link", enter the URL that the badges should point to and under
|
|
"Badge image URL" the URL of the image that should be displayed.
|
|
1. Submit the badge by clicking the **Add badge** button.
|
|
|
|
After adding a badge to a project, you can see it in the list below the form.
|
|
You can edit it by clicking on the pen icon next to it or to delete it by
|
|
clicking on the trash icon.
|
|
|
|
Badges associated with a group can only be edited or deleted on the
|
|
[group level](#group-badges).
|
|
|
|
## Group badges
|
|
|
|
Badges can be added to a group and will then be visible on every project's
|
|
overview page that's under that group. In this case, they cannot be edited or
|
|
deleted on the project level. If you need to have individual badges for each
|
|
project, consider adding them on the [project level](#project-badges) or use
|
|
[placeholders](#placeholders).
|
|
|
|
To add a new badge to a group:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your group's **Settings > General > Badges**.
|
|
1. Under "Link", enter the URL that the badges should point to and under
|
|
"Badge image URL" the URL of the image that should be displayed.
|
|
1. Submit the badge by clicking the **Add badge** button.
|
|
|
|
After adding a badge to a group, you can see it in the list below the form.
|
|
You can edit the badge by clicking on the pen icon next to it or to delete it
|
|
by clicking on the trash icon.
|
|
|
|
Badges directly associated with a project can be configured on the
|
|
[project level](#project-badges).
|
|
|
|
## Placeholders
|
|
|
|
The URL a badge points to, as well as the image URL, can contain placeholders
|
|
which will be evaluated when displaying the badge. The following placeholders
|
|
are available:
|
|
|
|
- `%{project_path}`: Path of a project including the parent groups
|
|
- `%{project_id}`: Database ID associated with a project
|
|
- `%{default_branch}`: Default branch name configured for a project's repository
|
|
- `%{commit_sha}`: ID of the most recent commit to the default branch of a
|
|
project's repository
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
Placeholders allow badges to expose otherwise-private information, such as the
|
|
default branch or commit SHA when the project is configured to have a private
|
|
repository. This is by design, as badges are intended to be used publicly. Avoid
|
|
using these placeholders if the information is sensitive.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
You can also configure badges via the GitLab API. As in the settings, there is
|
|
a distinction between endpoints for badges on the
|
|
[project level](../../api/project_badges.md) and [group level](../../api/group_badges.md).
