If you maintain an open-source repo, you have probably wondered at some point how many people actually visit it. GitHub has the answer buried in the Insights tab, but nobody looks there. It resets after 14 days, there is no history, and your README, the thing everyone sees, tells them nothing.
I built traffic-badge to fix that.
What it does
It is a GitHub Action that runs on a schedule, hits the official GitHub Traffic API, and commits a live SVG badge to a dedicated branch in your repo. You embed that badge in your README once and it updates automatically from then on.
The badge shows whatever you care about: total views, unique visitors, clones, unique cloners. One workflow file per metric, or stack them all.
