Hi all,
I would like to have in my Slicer extensions repos a badge showing the build status and a GitHub Action that checks every day whether there are build errors on CDash.
Before I start working on it, has everyone done this before? If not, do you have any hints on how to check the build status programmatically?

Hi Fernando,
Looking at these may be helpful:
- [https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKGitHubCDashStatus](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKGitHubCDashStatus)
- [https://github.com/jcfr/CBadge](https://github.com/jcfr/CBadge)
I am also sending an email to folks from the CDash team to learn what are the plans. Once I hear back, I will post an update here.
Thanks
J-Christophe
