⭐Create

This command displays prompts to create your own badge.

To start, run:

mdb create

then follow the prompts that follow.

As an example, we are going to create a custom GitHub badge which links to the mdbadges-cli repository.

Yellow text is the area that your answers to the prompts will fill out.

Prompts

• Alt Text is the text enclosed within the first square brackets.

• In our example, this is [![mdbadges-cli]...

---

• Text to display on the badge is the actual text that will be shown on the badge image.

• In our example, we enter mdbadges-cli within the prompt, so this becomes https://img.shields.io/badge/mdbadges-cli-%... in the URL.

Note: Handling is handled automatically by mdbadges-cli in most cases.
