Workflow status badge per branch #25563
-
|
According to https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#adding-a-workflow-status-badge-to-your-repository it is possible to add a status badge for a workflow. Currently the documentation does not mention whether it is possible to reference a branch name. This is important (and useful) for projects that have long-living branches in addition to the default branch. For example, sebastianbergmann/phpunit has multiple long-living branches - master - 8.3 - 7.5 As of the moment, when using Travis CI (see https://travis-ci.org), we can specify the name of the branch branch build status badges: It would be great if we could do the same with GitHub Action status badges, for example: Is that possible? |

Badges by branch currently aren’t available. They currently check the status on your default branch (usually master). Definitely agree it’s important. It’s on our list to get this added. ✨ |
