This module teaches participants how to streamline and automate their R development workflows by setting up CI/CD pipelines. Participants will learn to integrate tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions for automated testing, package management, and deployment. By the end of the module, participants will be able to manage dependencies using renv, perform automated testing, and set up deployment processes for their R applications in production.

Introduction to Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD)
Automating tasks in R with Rscript
Setting up Jenkins or GitHub Actions for R
Managing dependencies with renv or packrat
Automating testing and deployment workflows
Deploying R applications to production (Shiny apps, APIs, etc.)

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

• Set up and manage CI/CD pipelines for R applications
• Automate testing and deployment processes
• Manage package dependencies with renv or packrat
• Deploy R applications to production environments

The module combines theoretical instruction with hands-on labs. Participants will build their own CI/CD pipelines for R-based projects, working on automating testing, deployment, and version control processes. They will also collaborate on setting up production environments for deploying applications.
