+# Coverage Badges Integration
+
+This document explains how to integrate the coverage badges generated by the CI workflow into your README.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The Python CI workflow automatically:
+1. Runs tests with coverage reporting
+2. Checks documentation coverage with interrogate
+3. Generates coverage badges
+4. Commits badges to a separate `badges` branch
+
+## Using the Badges in README
+
+Once the workflow has run successfully on the `master` branch, you can add the following badges to your README.md:
+
+### Test Coverage Badge
+
+```markdown
+![Coverage Badge](https://gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/pyPhotoAlbum/raw/branch/badges/cov_info/coverage.svg)
+```
+
+### Documentation Coverage Badge
+
+```markdown
+![Docs Badge](https://gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/pyPhotoAlbum/raw/branch/badges/cov_info/coverage-docs.svg)
+```
+
+## Example README Section
+
+```markdown
+# pyPhotoAlbum
+
+![Coverage Badge](https://gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/pyPhotoAlbum/raw/branch/badges/cov_info/coverage.svg)
+![Docs Badge](https://gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/pyPhotoAlbum/raw/branch/badges/cov_info/coverage-docs.svg)
+
+A Python application for designing photo albums and exporting them to PDF.
+```
+
+## Workflow Details
+
+- **Workflow File**: `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`
+- **Trigger**: Pushes to `main`, `master`, or `develop` branches
+- **Runner**: Self-hosted
+- **Badge Branch**: `badges` (automatically created/updated)
+- **Badge Location**: `cov_info/` directory in badges branch
+
+## Requirements
+
+The workflow requires a `PUSH_TOKEN` secret to be configured in your Gitea repository settings. This token allows the workflow to push to the badges branch.
+
+### Setting Up the PUSH_TOKEN
+
+1. Go to your Gitea profile settings
+2. Navigate to Applications → Generate New Token
+3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "CI Badges Token")
+4. Select the `repository` scope
+5. Generate the token
+6. Go to your repository → Settings → Secrets
+7. Add a new secret named `PUSH_TOKEN` with the token value
+
+## Coverage Reports
+
+In addition to badges, the workflow also generates:
+- `coverage.json` - Machine-readable coverage data
+- `coverage.xml` - XML format coverage report
+- `htmlcov/` - HTML coverage report
+- `coverage-summary.txt` - Simple text summary of coverage percentage
+
+All these files are available as artifacts after each workflow run and are stored in the `badges` branch under `cov_info/`.
