How to create build status badges in github

1. create an action file in .github/workflows folder and commit.
2. Add the badge code into readme and commit & push to see the effect.

## Step 1. say build.yml file

name: Build
on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
    - name: Run Make
      run:  make
      
## Step 2.

[![Main](https://github.com/mrprajesh/learn-github-actions/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/mrprajesh/learn-github-actions/actions/workflows/build.yml)

what does it do?

• We have two branches main and dev
• We have build.yml action file for them. See here
• We have build status badges for them.
• In addition to make and we run the executable generated.
• We purposely make the dev's code to segfault to see if the dev badge fails.
• The expected behaviour is observed.

Best practices

• Create different files for different branch so the logs are grouped together
