I added live stats badges to gitstats, and here's how they work without a badge server

说明与用途

Gitstats 添加了实时统计徽章，直接与静态报告一起生成，无需单独的徽章服务器，使仓库活动在 README 中可见。

问题

Gitstats reports are static and not easily discoverable; README badges lack repository activity metrics like commit count, last commit date, and contributor count.

结果

Gitstats now provides live, up-to-date badges directly from static reports, eliminating the need for a separate badge server and making repository activity visible in README files.

工作流

• Generate report with gitstats (v2.6.0) which creates badge.svg and badges/ directory with pre-rendered metrics.
• Configure badge appearance via gitstats config keys (badge_metric, badge_color, badge_style).
• Deploy report to static hosting (e.g., GitHub Pages) using gitstats-action or manual upload.
• Add badge markdown to README: .
• Optionally expose metrics via shields.io endpoint using badges/<metric>.json for advanced styling.

证据

Every report gets a badge.svg written next to index.html

Because it's regenerated with the report, the number is never stale.

The gitstats README now carries its own badge, served from the demo report
