About README Guard

README Guard checks your GitHub repositories and warns you when README files are missing, outdated, or lack badges. Keep your projects professional with in-page and popup alerts, even on private repos (with token). Key features: - Detects missing or outdated READMEs (uses the README’s own commits). - Flags missing badges to highlight project quality. - In-page alerts on GitHub plus popup status. - Free plan: monitor up to 5 repositories (list and remove via popup). - Optional GitHub token (PAT) to avoid rate limits.
