rworkflows

rworkflows automates continuous integration and deployment for R packages to improve reproducibility of computational research.

Key Features:

• Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD): Automates CI/CD for R packages via configurable GitHub Actions workflows.
• GitHub-triggered Automated Workflows: Triggers parallel workflows on GitHub repository updates to run validation and deployment tasks.
• Dependency Installation: Installs all software dependencies required by the R package as part of automated runs.
• Code Checks: Executes code checks to ensure adherence to coding standards.
• Documentation Site Generation: Generates a dedicated package documentation website as part of the workflow.
• Containerized Environment Deployment: Builds and deploys a publicly accessible containerized environment for testing and access.

Scientific Applications:

• Bioinformatics: Supports reproducible development and validation of R packages used in bioinformatics analyses.
• Genomics: Facilitates reproducible workflows for R packages applied in genomics research.
• Data-intensive Scientific Domains: Streamlines reproducible package development for other data-intensive fields.

Methodology:

Leverages GitHub infrastructure to trigger workflows on repository updates that install dependencies, run code checks, generate documentation websites, and deploy containerized environments.
