Description
The bug involves missing information on the project’s GitHub repository page, specifically the counts for "Stargazers" and "Forks," which are not displayed in the README. These metrics are crucial as they provide potential contributors and users with insights into the repository's popularity and community involvement. To reproduce this issue, navigate to the project’s GitHub repository and observe that there are no indicators for the number of stars or forks in the README, even though these counts are visible on GitHub's repository header. The expected behavior is for these metrics to be readily visible on the main README page, offering a quick view of the project’s engagement level. A solution to this is to add "Stargazers" and "Forks" badges in the README, which can be done through Shields.io. Adding these badges will allow visitors to quickly assess the project’s popularity and improve overall engagement with the repository.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce
Page: Navigate to the project’s GitHub repository’s main page.
Action: Look for the Stargazers and Forks metrics in the README.
Expected Result: To see a display of these counts within the README for easy access.
Actual Result: These metrics were absent, reducing the visibility of community engagement data on the main project page.

If "yes" to above, please explain how you would technically implement this
To implement the Stargazers and Forks counts in the README, I would use dynamic badges from Shields.io, which allows GitHub repositories to display real-time metrics like stars and forks directly on the page. First, I would navigate to the README file (typically README.md in the root directory) and insert the Shields.io badge links to show these metrics. This can be done by embedding Markdown syntax in the README with the following code:
In this code, I would replace username and repository-name with the specific GitHub username and repository name. Once added, these badges would display up-to-date counts of stars and forks, making it easier for visitors to gauge the repository's popularity and activity level directly from the README without needing to check the repository header each time.
