R interface?

[tdhock]

Hi @rhysd my student @LooDaHu wants to try to get https://github.com/analyticalmonk/Rperform working with your software, but the docs say that user-defined tools are not yet supported. can you help explain how to get started?

Also can you explain how the authentication works? (how do we grant access for pushing benchmark data to gh-pages branch?)

Thanks

New tool support can be implemented as contribution for now. Please implement it and make a pull request.

Guide is here:

https://github.com/rhysd/github-action-benchmark/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

And yesterday I merged Catch2 support PR from a contributor. Please see #6.

Hi @rhysd I've just opened an issue on this on the R side: r-lib/bench#111

I'm up for taking a look at this no problem, you happy for me or others to comment and ask questions here if we hit any issues? Thanks!

@tdhock, regarding to your question:

Also can you explain how the authentication works? (how do we grant access for pushing benchmark data to gh-pages branch?)

W.r.t getting started on how to contribute, have a look at my ongoing PR #145, that's an example on which files/functions you need to touch to add support for your Rperform.
