Forgejo Actions for the R language

Warning

Read-only Mirror of r-lib/actions

We make only slight, automated changes to the upstream repository in order to make it compatible with Forgejo Actions.

Please feel free to open bug reports related specifically to the use of these actions on Forgejo, but please be aware that the core functionality is maintained elsewhere and try to funnel issues to the right places.

Overview

Although Forgejo Actions are mostly compatible with GitHub actions, they necessarily need to make a few design choices to support a more open ecosystem. Most notably, actions aren't assumed to come from the same source as the repo and require a more detailed description of their source. To address this, this repository hosts those actions with a minimal set of edits to make them useful using Forgejo Actions.

Be aware that Codeberg has Terms and Conditions for using their hosted runners.

Quick Start

For all intents and purposes, the workflow should be nearly identical to using GitHub Actions. You can copy the workflows from the examples/ directory into your repository's .forgejo/workflows/ folder and start using them as-is.

Meaningful Differences

However, there may be a few bumps along the way. This is largely because Codeberg (which uses Forgejo Actions) provides their own runners, but they are to be used with a bit more care than actions on GitHub. Codeberg isn't providing these runners as a loss-leader for other sales, they're doing it for the betterment of the software ecosystem and because of that, there's an expectation that we are more mindful about our resources. Being mindful about resources is part of the terms of use.

Timeouts

You'll quickly find that out-of-the-box these examples will almost certainly time out. This is because they are set to the most minimal runner, codeberg-tiny. If you need a more substantial runner, you'll have to update the runs-on: field in each workflow. See a list of tags that you can use in Codeberg's documentation.

OS Availability

Similarly, Codeberg does not provide free runners for Windows and Mac. We have no plans for making these available at the moment.
