GitHub repo file count (file type)

If your GitHub badge errors, it might be because you hit GitHub's rate limits. You can increase Shields.io's rate limit byadding the Shields GitHub application using your GitHub account.

Note:
1. Parameter type accepts either file or dir value. Passing any other value will result in an error.
2. Parameter extension accepts file extension without a leading dot. For instance for .js extension pass js. Only single extension value can be specified.extension is applicable for type file only. Passing it either without type or along with type dir will result in an error.
3. GitHub API has an upper limit of 1,000 files for a directory. In case a directory contains files above the limit, a badge might present inaccurate information.
