  • Make any link that starts with the project's URL relative to that URL.
  • Remove any badges that match any of a set of provided patterns. Badges will be removed if:
    • They are preceded by a space. In this case, the leading space is removed as well.
    • They are on a line of their own. In this case, the entire line is removed.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
