I think it would be interesting to add a workflow in knitr-example that would trigger a new run of "Check-knitr-example" workflow in knitr repo when we have a new commit to master in this repo.

That way when we push a fix because something changed in knitr we could have the workflow re-run automatically.

Should be possible using

• repository dispatch event : https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#repository_dispatch
• Called using API : https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#create-a-repository-dispatch-event
• with the help of : https://github.com/actions/github-script or an action that could ease the implementation: https://github.com/peter-evans/repository-dispatch
