Badgen.net: Github Status vs Github Checks

[f3l1x]

Hi, I am little confused what check and status is.

I have this repository (https://github.com/apitte/debug) and master branch is failing.

What should I use to display Github Actions badge? What is the difference between status and check?

Thank you very much.

status and checks are two types of status checks (...yes) provided by GitHub. Their docs explain the differences at:

• https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-status-checks#types-of-status-checks-on-github
• https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/checks

Thank you @wopian. If I get it right I should use checks to displays Github Action status, right?

For this repository (https://github.com/contributte/translation). I am getting badge error.

Do you think it's because of coverage/coveralls failing?
