It is quite common for organizations to hide their source code using private repositories but sometimes you or your organization might want to publicly show the vulnerabilities report for your project.

You can do that by with your Meterian account, then navigate to the tab "Projects" and you will be able to mark a project as Public. Once you do that you will enable the private badge feature on the "Badges" tab.

Simply select the project, the branch (optional) and click on 'Generate'.

Some snippets will be created in the area below.

[![security status](https://www.meterian.com/badge/pb/e315f215-3d85-4b63-8618-a69f2175d0a7/security)](<project-name>)

Copy and paste the snippets on your projects README.md file and the badges looking like this will appear on your github project README.

This badge is also a direct link to the Meterian project report page. The report for your project will be automatically created (if not existing) and automatically refreshed daily.
