Hi, so I just noticed today that I opened 6 Pull Requests that have been merged yet I didn't get any Pull Shark badge for it.

Could someone explain me why?
Just wondering out of curiosity.

Thanks

No solution found. I created a total of 6 PRs that have been merged but still didn't get the Pull Shark badge.
This is a mystery...

Hello @jmevel, on desktop the pull shark badge is visible on your profile.

Hi @4rnv

If you hover your mouse over the badge you'll see that it's a badge acquired for creating PRs on another repository

You get a new Pull Shark badge for each project in which you create at least 2 PRs that have been merged.
It will appear like this on your profile

And when hovering with your mouse you can see the details with each repository's link

I think the procedure behind the pull shark badge is slightly different than what you've described. The x(number) represents the badge level, not the number of PRs merged. The x2 shows up when you merge 16 PRs, and x3 at 128 PRs. Also it counts the PRs from your account collectively, not for every individual repo.

@4rnv Ahhh I see !!!
Thanks a lot for your answer, I misunderstood how this was working.
I 100% agree with this comment the x2 is just too confusing. It should be called Level 2 or something like that
