See how many people use a Java library, with Sourcegraph badges
We’re excited to announce that Sourcegraph “used by” badges now support Java libraries. If you’re an open-source author, these badges tell you how many other projects depend on your work. If you’re an open-source user, the badges help you make an informed decision based on how many others are actually using and relying on a library.
Our badges pull dependency information from the same global code graph that helps you make sense of code on Sourcegraph.com. Code is data, and we’re on a mission to make that data useful to programmers everywhere.
How to add the badge
Copy the following snippet to your README.md and replace “github.com/junit-team/junit4” with the name of your repository:

?style=plastic?style=flat?style=flat-square
