For anyone interested in implementing this, you may want to take a look at the similar service that provides the version of an npm package from the package.json file in a GitHub repo

https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/services/github/github-package-json.service.js

https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/2259 contains some related conversation that may be useful as well

I'll work on it later today.

I see @pedrofracassi you didn't make it. If you don't mind I will look into it.

[pedrofracassi]

@hjagodzinski please do.

[calebcartwright]

In my admittedly limited experience with Go, I've always found the mod file to be in the root of the repo. Is that something that's enforced/required, or would be it possible for someone to have the mod file in a subdirectory of the repo?

For example:

/foo/bar/go.mod
/foo/baz/go.mod

[pedrofracassi]

Only if it's a monorepo with multiple go packages, I believe. Maybe let people add the path to the badge URL?

[calebcartwright]

Thanks @pedrofracassi - that's exactly what I was thinking
