Body

Badges are a great way to show the popularity of your project. Shields.io makes it very easy to show the total number of pulls from the Docker hub registry: https://shields.io/badges/docker-pulls While release asset downloads are similarly easy, GHCR package total downloads is not. See badges/shields#5594 This would be near-trivial if there were a single API endpoint to get this number, but currently it's only available by scraping a page like https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/pkgs/container/scrutiny or manually summing each version.

Thanks for considering this!
