gitflow-R

This repository contains the GitHub actions to support the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment incorporated Branching Strategy (CI-CD-BS) for R package development.

Instruction to use this tool:

1. Make sure your repository has the following branches:
    main
    dev
    release*
    feature*
    Conda_Package*
    github_page*
2. Make a .github/workflows directory under your repo.
3. Copy the gitflow-R-action.yml from the GitHub Actions folder into the .github/workflows directory if you want the automatic CI-CD-BS.
4. Copy the Manual_Deployment_to_NIDAP.yml from the GitHub Actions folder into the .github/workflows directory if you want the manual deployment tool.
5. Update the information at ' image_to_use: "" ' line in gitflow-R-action.yml to a GitHub container registry address for your Docker image.
6. Update the information at ' uses: fnlcr-bids-sdsi/gitflow-R/.github/workflows/parser.yml@ ' to the specific branch if you have any, or replace with your forked repo address.
7. Make sure you have a stable conda recipe in "Conda_Recipe" folder.
8. Make sure you have the repository setup to use github_page for GitHub page delpoyment.
9. Make sure you have a working container ready to run the CI-CD, sure we can make the environment on the fly, but the time it will take is not optimum.
