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 > 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 > Project 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 + +## 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). + +[pipeline status]: pipelines/settings.md#pipeline-status-badge +[test coverage]: pipelines/settings.md#test-coverage-report-badge |
