Detect pytest in any GitHub repo

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

How pytest is detected

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

  • Files or folders: /^pytest\.ini$/, conftest.py
  • Dependencies in Python (requirements.txt / pyproject.toml): pytest

pytest README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

pytest badge

Markdown
![pytest](https://img.shields.io/badge/pytest-0A9EDC?style=for-the-badge&logo=pytest&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 pytest (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.
