Better Github Action Logging

octolog

Octolog provides a complete¹ API for GitHub workflow commands that makes it easy to create powerful GitHub Actions that create readable logs.

Additionally it is possible to signal conditions with octolog from R that will create annotations when used within GitHub Actions but raise normal R conditions when used interactively.

Installation

You can install the development version of octolog with either of these options:

pak::pak("assignUser/octolog")
devtools::install_github("assignUser/octolog")

What are GitHub Actions?

GitHub Actions is a powerful,free² CI service integrated into every repository on GitHub. You can use actions created by other users (e.g. the very popular r-lib/actions collection of R related actions) or create your own customized workflow that fits your needs.

Example

The best way to see how {octolog} works, is in an actual workflow. For more information please see the website and the introductory vignette.
