Github Actions

MNE-CPP facilitates Github Actions to do continous integration (CI). Github Actions operates on Github events which trigger so called workflows. You can read more on the terminology here. Currently, the following Github events trigger MNE-CPP’s CI pipeline:

Event type	Workflow Name	Workflow Script	Effect
Pull Requests	PullRequest	pullrequest.yml	Triggers checks to run on the PR code.
Pushes/Merges to main	Linux|MacOS|Win|WASM	release.yml	Triggers the Development Release binaries to be updated with the most recently pushed changes. This workflow basically follows the idea of nightly builds.
Publishing a new release with tag syntax v0.x.y	Linux|MacOS|Win|WASM	release.yml	Triggers stable release processing steps described in more detail here.
Pushes to the docu branch	DocuTest	docutest.yml	Creates a new version of the documentation website and makes them accessible via the repository’s gh-pages branch.
Pushes to the wasm branch	WasmTest	wasmtest.yml	Creates new versions of the WebAssembly capable MNE-CPP applications and makes them accessible via the repository’s gh-pages branch.
Pushes to the testci branch	TestCI	testci.yml	Triggers checks to run cross-platform build setups and tests without the need to create a Github PR.
Timer runs out	Coverity	coverity.yml	Triggers every two days to run Coverity static code analysis tools.
Pushes to the generateqt branch	BuildQtBinaries	buildqtbinaries.yml	Triggers builds of all needed Qt versions and makes them accesible as artifacts via the Github Actions interface.
