Automate Tasks with GitHub Actions

This website provides instructional materials for understanding and implementing GitHub Actions workflows to automate tasks in the cloud across different programming languages.

This workshop assumes (at minimum):

  1. you have basic coding experience (regardless of programming language)
  2. you have already created a GitHub account
  3. you have basic experience using Git and GitHub for version control

For more information on using Git and GitHub (particularly for R users), I recommend the Happy Git and GitHub for the useR e-book created by Jenny Bryan. While there are R-specific suggestions for using Git from RStudio, much of the material is agnostic of programming language. Additionally, you may refer to this recording of a Git and GitHub with RStudio workshop I led in 2022.

Please submit any questions on the Discussions page of the GitHub repo hosting this website and associated materials, which may serve as a forum to ask questions not covered in these materials.
