Making Awesome Automations with GitHub Actions
summary
A practical introduction to using GitHub Actions to run arbitrary R work: package checks and site builds via r-lib/actions and package scaffolding with usethis, plus scripts that scrape government data, render R Markdown or Quarto reports, send emails and save results. Usage increases for RStudio and Posit show completed runs rise more than fourfold in two years. Workflows use triggers like a daily schedule or a manual button and run on an Ubuntu runner where R and needed packages must be installed.
