5 years ago The badge is to enable easy access to notebooks in the repo. So, this isn't part of a build system. It's exposing the notebooks literally as they are, and it will track the master branch as it updates. Since Github doesn't have a preview feature for Wolfram notebooks, this is basically the best way to preview them without cloning the repo directly. And the feature is for viewing only...it would resolve Dynamics and Manipulates, but it doesn't allow you to Shift+Enter on the results unless you copy it into your own account (so, this is roughly equivalent to "published notebooks" on the Wolfram Cloud).
This is sort of a prerelease, with the hope that other folks who have Wolfram notebooks in their Github repos will similarly include such a badge in their Readmes. I've already added the badge to the repos that I started here...most notably, GitLink which is similar to this repo in structure and purpose.
Before I merge this I have a few questions: Why did you use the source notebooks and not the build documentation? The converted notebooks contain all sort of irrelevant stuff that looks ugly. How did you generate the cloud objects? Since the target link is just a dump of all notebooks it's hard to see the structure of the paclet. There also seem to be some cloud issues as well: How would one evaluate these notebooks with out the paclet installed. also the hyperlinks do not seem to work.
