How to display Codecov.io badge in GitHub README.md?

Question

As mentioned in the title, how can I add a Codecov.io badge resembling the coverage of my project?

There is nothing stated about this in the Docs from Codecov.io.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Go to https://codecov.io/gh/<your-organisation>/<your-project>/settings/badge, here you can see your badges ready to be copied.

Or just navigate to your project and go to Settings -> Badge.

Answer 3

After a long search and Try-n-Error i was able to find something which implicitly helped finding it out.

The way to implement a Codecov.io badge with your current Coverage ist the following :

In HTML :

<a href="https://codecov.io/github/<Your Organization/Acc.>/
<YourRepo>?branch=master">
<img alt="Coverage" src="https://codecov.io
/github/<Your Organization/Acc.>/<YourRepo>/coverage.svg?branch=master">
</a>

In Markdown:

[![codecov.io](https://codecov.io/github/<Your Organization/Acc.>/<YourRepo>/coverage.svg?branch=master)]
(https://codecov.io/github/<Your Organization/Acc.>/<YourRepo>?branch=master)

This Solution expects that you host the project on Github and that you upload the coverage reports.

Navigate to https://app.codecov.io/gh/your_organization/your_repository/settings/badge (replace the placeholders in the link) and copy the code they show you there (there's HTML, markdown and RST). You need to get it from there because there's a unique access token for it.
