Show Codeberg: Readme badge with total stars count (Codeberg + Github) #391

Disclaimer This is not an issue. I apologize for polluting issue tracker but I'm not sure where does Show Codeberg stuff belong. 🤔

---

As an avid Github stargazer, I was contemplating about Codeberg stars and it occurred to me that projects mirrored between Codeberg and Github suffer from stars fragmentation.

Take teddit for example. As of writing this, it has:

1. 56 stars on Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit)
2. 44 stars on Github (https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit)

Codeberg users might not be aware of Github stars and vice versa. Basically, there is no way for them to show cumulative star count in their Readme which surely doesn't help from a marketing perspective.

As someone who did some https://badgen.net tweaks, I figured out I could probably solve it by creating a small Runkit endpoint utilizing Gitea & Github API.

Few keystrokes later, there you have it 🎉
https://runkit.com/vladimyr/total-stars

It can be used in the following fashion:

![](https://badgen.net/runkit/vladimyr/total-stars/codeberg;owner=teddit;repo=teddit/github;owner=teddit-net;repo=teddit)

which yields this nice total stars badge:

I hope that someone might find it useful 🏄

If you have any questions or improvement suggestions let me know, I'm all ears.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm not using badges for my own repos, but I like them in most public ones.
I think we should mention this in the docs.

Is it possible to have a variant with icons? I think it might be an idea to have both icons in the label so the meaning of "total" is more clear. Don't have a clear imagination if it, though.

This endpoint, like all badgen.net powered ones, gives you the ability to specify a single icon. It can be done using several forms of icon query param:

1. ?icon=<icon> for icons listed on https://badgen.net
2. ?icon=https://simpleicons.now.sh/<icon>/fff for icons coming from https://simpleicons.org collection

There is an open PR on simpleicons end for adding Codeberg's logo: https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons/pull/4757
Once it gets merged you could do something like this:

![](https://badgen.net/runkit/vladimyr/total-stars/codeberg;owner=teddit;repo=teddit/github;owner=teddit-net;repo=teddit?icon=https://simpleicons.now.sh/codeberg/fff)

However, that will still give you only one icon. It would look like this, obviously with Codeberg's logo:

Someone could join together Github's and Codeberg's icons, host them somewhere and use that instead of simpleicons proxy although I don't think that the end result would look attractive. 🤔

@vladimyr Would it be possible to modify this thingy to work with arbitrary Forgejo repositories? Ideally by allowing to copy-paste the URLs to the repos there?

@therealneca7 Your comment above is not helpful, because it does NOT allow to choose any other Forgejo instance, and it seems to do exactly the same thing as shared in the conversation above.

You share a pattern of repeatedly posting comments that are perceived as off-topic by community members and mostly just repeat things that were already shared. Because we are not sure about your motivation, we conclude that your behaviour might be intended as trolling and will lock access to this organization. You can request an unblock after showing successful contributions in other projects on Codeberg.
