I went down a rabbit hole while trying to untangle the bug in the dockbit and bitrise examples https://github.com/badges/shields/pull/2234#pullrequestreview-169997546.
The URL generation code is spaghetti-like, with functions, many of which I wrote, with opaque names, doing similar but not identical things, and making slightly incompatible assumptions about the way query strings are handled.
I got a bit lost and need to take a step back.
Meanwhile, this is a small piece of work I did that’s worth keeping. It doesn’t scratch the surface of the tangle, but it does remove a bit of duplication.
It also makes a minor stylistic ES6 change in the handling of default arguments.
