GitHub README Generator
Scaffold a professional README with badges, TOC and stack-specific install steps.

What is README Generator?
The README is the landing page of your repository — and staring at a blank one is the hardest part. This free generator scaffolds a professional README.md in seconds: project title and tagline, shields.io badges for build status, stars and license, an anchor-linked table of contents, a features list, stack-aware install and usage sections for Node.js, Python, Go, Rust or Docker, contributing guidelines and a license section. Copy the Markdown and customize from a solid base.

Frequently asked questions
Is this README generator free to use?
Yes — this README generator is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
What sections should every README have?
At minimum: a one-line description of what the project does, installation steps, a basic usage example and the license. Add badges for quick status signals, a table of contents for longer files, and contributing notes if you welcome pull requests — that covers what 90% of visitors look for.
Is my data private?
Completely. Everything you type stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, so commands, keys and data never leave your machine.
Do these tools touch my servers?
No. OpsForge tools are pure calculators and generators that run in your browser — they never connect to your infrastructure. You copy the result and apply it yourself.
Is the chmod calculator accurate for all systems?
Yes — octal permission notation is a POSIX standard, so the results apply identically on Linux, macOS and BSD.
Will more DevOps tools be added?
Yes — Dockerfile, docker-compose, nginx and CI config generators are on the roadmap. Everything will stay free and client-side.
