How to add github sponsor button to readme

Question

I have github sponsorship enabled through my github repo.

I'm wanting to add a 'sponsor' button into the actual readme.md as well as another website.

Is there some what to add the sponsor button to these type of locations?

Answer 1

shields.io has support for GitHub Sponsors badge. Go to https://shields.io/badges/git-hub-sponsors to create one.

For example:

![GitHub Sponsor](https://img.shields.io/github/sponsors/<username>?label=Sponsor&logo=GitHub)

Replace <username> with your GitHub username.

would display a badge

If you want to make it clickable:

[![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Sponsor&message=%E2%9D%A4&logo=GitHub&color=%23fe8e86)](https://github.com/sponsors/<username>)

Replace <username> with your GitHub username.

would display a badge
