You can put external links into e.g. your Github README.md to display badges but yes, Github seem to have some silly policy of not allowing people to inject executable Javascript into their website so you can't embed things using <object> tags, or similar. You have to use <img> which means no JS included in the badge SVG will be executed => no automatic updates.
- toomanydoubts 5y agoIs it really a silly policy? I like that a lot.
- rlonn 5y agoOf course it is silly - it infringes on my personal freedom not to be able to execute arbitrary code on the computers of people visiting Github!
