The goal of actions_sandbox is to explore some GitHub actions with R.
GitHub actions allow us to trigger automated steps after we launch GitHub interactions such as when we push, pull, submit a pull request, or write an issue.
For example, there are actions that will automatically trigger:
GitHub actions follow the steps designated in a yaml
file, which we place in the .github/workflows
folder of the repo.
We can add these yaml
files to our repo either by clicking on a series of steps on GitHub.com, or using wrapper functions provided by the usethis
package, depending on which actions you which to include.
We describe both ways here.
