A collection of reusable GitHub Actions for R projects, providing setup of R, dependencies, renv, pandoc, and TinyTeX, plus running R CMD check and PR workflows. It includes example workflows covering common R CI tasks.

Use cases

  • set up R in a GitHub Actions workflow
  • run R CMD check on my R package in CI
  • install R package dependencies from DESCRIPTION in CI
  • restore renv lockfile packages in GitHub Actions
  • install pandoc and LaTeX for R Markdown rendering in CI
  • automate PR fetch and push workflows for R projects

When to choose

  • you maintain R packages and want standard CI with R CMD check
  • you need reproducible R environments via renv in GitHub Actions
  • you want ready-made example workflows for R projects

When to avoid

  • you use a CI system other than GitHub Actions
  • your project is not R-based
