Detect Cypress in any GitHub repo

Cypress is one of the testing technologies Stack Fingerprint recognises automatically when it scans a public repository.

How Cypress is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Cypress when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: /^cypress\.config/, cypress
  • Dependencies in package.json: cypress

Cypress README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Cypress badge

Markdown
![Cypress](https://img.shields.io/badge/Cypress-1B1E2E?style=for-the-badge&logo=cypress&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Cypress (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

[![Stack Fingerprint](https://stackfingerprint.vercel.app/api/card?repo=OWNER/REPO)](https://stackfingerprint.vercel.app/?repo=OWNER/REPO)

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
