feat: implement v2 with SVG badges and auto-commit functionality

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR implements v2 of the action, adding the ability to generate local SVG badge files and automatically commit them to the repository using the GitHub API. This addresses issues #23 and #24.

What's New in v2

🎨 Local SVG Badge Generation (Issue #23)

The action now uses the badge-maker package to generate SVG badges locally instead of relying on shields.io URLs. This provides:

• Self-contained badges: All badges are stored as SVG files in your repository
• No external dependencies: Badges render without requiring shields.io
• Customizable storage: Configure where badge files are saved with badge_path input

Example badge format:

• v1: ![Total repositories](https://img.shields.io/badge/Total%20repositories-341-blue?labelColor=555)
• v2: ![Total repositories](./badges/total-repositories.svg)

🔄 Automated Commit & README Updates (Issue #24)

New optional features for automated workflow:

• commit_badges: Automatically commit badge files to your repository using the GitHub REST API

  • Enables verified commits when using a GitHub App token
  • Eliminates need for manual git operations in workflows

• update_readme: Automatically update your README.md with badge references

  • Updates content between <!-- start organization badges --> and <!-- end organization badges --> markers
  • Only updates if content has changed
  • Requires commit_badges: true

Simplified workflow example:

- uses: joshjohanning/organization-readme-badge-generator@v2
  with:
    organization: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
    token: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}
    commit_badges: true      # Auto-commit badge files
    update_readme: true       # Auto-update README

No more manual bash scripts for committing and updating!

New Input Parameters

Input	Description	Default
badge_path	Path where badge SVG files should be saved	badges
commit_badges	Auto-commit badge files using GitHub API (verified commits)	false
readme_path	Path to README file to update	profile/README.md
update_readme	Auto-update README with badge references (requires commit_badges)	false

Technical Changes

Dependencies Added

• badge-maker@4.0.0 - SVG badge generation
• @octokit/rest@21.0.2 - GitHub REST API operations

New Functions

• generateBadgeSVG() - Creates SVG badges
• saveBadgeSVG() - Saves SVG files to disk
• getFileContent() - Retrieves file content via GitHub API
• commitFile() - Creates/updates files via GitHub API
• updateReadmeWithBadges() - Updates README between markers

Testing

• Added 16 new test cases covering all new functionality
• All 38 tests passing
• Zero security vulnerabilities (CodeQL verified)

Breaking Changes ⚠️

This is a v2 release with breaking changes:

• Badge output format changed from shields.io URLs to local SVG file references
• Users upgrading from v1 should update their README to reference local badge files
• Default behavior (with commit_badges: false) generates local files but doesn't commit them

Migration Guide

v1 to v2 (maintaining shields.io URLs): Use v1
v2 with manual commits: Use v2 with commit_badges: false (default)
v2 with automation: Use v2 with commit_badges: true and optionally update_readme: true

See the updated README for detailed usage examples.

Closes

• Closes Use badge-maker and generate local SVGs we can save to repo #23
• Closes Create option to automatically commit file to repo and update readme #24

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• img.shields.io
  • Triggering command: node /home/REDACTED/work/organization-readme-badge-generator/organization-readme-badge-generator/node_modules/.bin/make-coverage-badge-better --label-color #333 --output-path ./badges/coverage.svg (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Work on issues #23 and #24 as v2 of the action. This is the ability to generate svg badges to be able to save in the repo and the logic to atomically commit the badge. I guess we don't need the update text after all since it'll just refer to the svg in the repo.
