Use GitHub Action — proj_workflow_use

You can use a GitHub Action to automate the building and deployment of your project. This function wraps usethis::use_github_action() to install an Actions file that will:

install R
install and cache your dependencies (using DESCRIPTION)

You will need to adapt the sections in your Actions file to:

build your project
deploy your project

To help you draw the "rest of the owl", the r-lib actions repository is a great place to start.
