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README Guard checks your GitHub repositories and warns you when README files are missing, outdated, or lack badges.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- Detects missing or outdated READMEs (uses the README’s own commits).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.
