If you're new to either GitHub Actions or to CI testing of R packages, here are some exercises that can help you get a sense what's involved so that you can write a well-informed proposal. These are not mandatory, and we won't ask to see the results.
- Pick any R package on GitHub and fork it to your own account. It doesn’t matter who wrote the package or what it does, as long as it doesn’t yet have any Actions configured. If you prefer, you could make a new dummy package instead of forking one.
- Add a GitHub Actions workflow that performs package checks on every push. Verify that the build passes reliably.
