Frequently Asked Questions

Are the badges real, working badges?

Yes — the license, build-status, and version badges use shields.io's static badge URLs, the same service most GitHub READMEs use. They'll render correctly the moment you paste the generated Markdown anywhere that supports it.

Can I edit the README further after generating it?

Yes — this produces a complete starting file, not a locked template. Download it and keep editing in any text editor, or keep adjusting the form here since the preview updates live.

Does this analyze my actual codebase to write the README?

No — this is a guided template builder, not an AI that reads your repository. You fill in the details yourself, which keeps it fast, free, and accurate to what you actually want documented, rather than guessed.

Is my project information uploaded anywhere?

No — everything you type is assembled and rendered entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
