A collection listing all Achievements available on the GitHub profile.
Following the launch of the first Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, GitHub announced the new Achievements section:
We are also using this opportunity to introduce a new Achievements section to the GitHub profile. Right now, Achievements include the Mars 2020 Helicopter Mission badge, the Arctic Code Vault badge, and a badge for sponsoring open source work via GitHub Sponsors.
This repository attempts to list them all.
2022-06-09: GitHub announced more Achievements, but without specific criteria. If you see something not listed here, please open an issue :)

There is was an official list available in the GitHub Docs at
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/personalizing-your-profile#displaying-badges-on-your-profile (link to the archived version).
There is still a section which includes specifics on how badges were/are awarded, e.g. which repositories and versions qualified for the Mars 2020 Helicopter Contributor.
Consider this repository a mirror, maybe in the future with historic purpose. Unless there will be an official list again, this is it.
For now, please refer to the discussions.
To the best of our knowledge:
Each tier has a label associated which includes a color.
| Tier | Label | Sample | Hex | Visual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze 🥉 | x2 |  |
#F9BFA7 |  |
| Silver 🥈 | x3 |  |
#E1E4E4 |  |
| Gold 🥇 | x4 |  |
#FAE57E |  |
Here are screenshots of all Achievements at "100 % unlocked" as seen in full in the dialog, both light and dark mode (swichting automatically).
Currently work in progress.

From the start with Ingenuity on 2021-04-19 until the additions on 2022-06-09, the first three Achievements had slightly different designs and names. In other words, they were overhauled on 2022-06-09.
- GitHub Sponsor
+ Public Sponsor
- Mars 2020 Helicopter Contributor
+ Mars 2020 ContributorHere are the old designs and names:
