You can customize the colors and the text of the badges, just use color and text parameters in the url, like customizing the last release example, check below:
For colors you can use any hex colors you want, and some basic already defined, check the file badge.rb for some basic colors.
Install heroku toolbet and log to it after that, it's pretty straigth forward deploying on heroku, just do the following:
# Cloning the repository
git clone https://github.com/kennedyoliveira/github-basic-badges.git
cd github-basic-badges
# Create a heroku app
heroku create
# Push the code to heroku
git push heroku master
# Open the app
heroku open
My instance is running in the following url https://github-basic-badges.herokuapp.com you can use it to generate badges for your repos!
If you have any question or suggestion, open an issue!
