Does badgekit need a GitHub token to render stars/release badges? #100
|
Do I need to authenticate for stars or release presets, or are these just shields.io URLs? |

No token required. badgekit only generates shields.io URLs — it does not call the GitHub or npm APIs. Stars/release badges are public shields.io endpoints. Private repos may show limited data depending on shields.io visibility, but local generation never needs auth. |
