GitHub Profile Achievements 🏆

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 :)

Official list

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 offical list again, this is it.
