Add rworkflows GitHub Actions

[bschilder]

Hi @rcorces , now that it's reached maturity I thought you might be interested in using rworkflows for running continuous integration directly in GitHub Actions.

You can read more about all the things it can automate here:

Let me know if you have any questions about it, or any feature requests and I'd be happy to accomodate!

Just wanted to check in and see if there was interest in this @rcorces @jeffmgranja @jgranja24

Hi @bschilder - I've had a lot of trouble keeping things going with ArchR lately. I still like the idea of incorporating this but I havent even been able to find the time to push a new version of ArchR. I'm hoping to find someone to take over the project but its hard to find the right person.

No worries at all @rcorces, I totally understand the struggle of keeping up with open source software. I've been recently thinking through some strategies to address this for rworkflows itself, and put together some resources you might find helpful:
neurogenomics/rworkflows#92

That said, I haven't made any changes to ArchR itself so if you're amenable to the idea of CI/CD, it might be worth merging this before any new releases of ArchR. It's primarily a tool for developers to check the status of their package and identify any potential issues.

I've updated rworkflows so that it automatically generates a Docker container stored on GitHub Container Registry. This container will appear under Packages section once the rworkflows action has successfully run all the way through.

If you want to skip ahead and get the container launched before all R CMD checks have passed, you can set run_rcmdcheck: ${{ false }} in the rworkflows.yml temporarily:
