As of 2023 the material in this post no longer functions due to changes in GitHub Actions. Machine learning models get stuck at the deployment stage all the time. This stuff is hard. GitHub Actions is a tool for automating tasks associated with a repository. I wanted to see if I could implement some sort of end-to-end automatic training, deployment and execution of a model. And I’m going to use R because people keep telling me that this sort of stuff can’t be done with R.
