GH Action to render README.qmd ?

[egouldo]

No version of devtools::build_readme() for .qmd files https://devtools.r-lib.org/reference/build_rmd.html ... so, should we set up a GH action to instead render the README automatically? I've been forgetting to render this manually after I make changes to the README.

See https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-actions/tree/main/render for a GH actions for quarto_render(), usage here (🗒️ I've substituted to: html with to: md, which is what we want, untested, however):

- name: Render Quarto Project
  uses: quarto-dev/quarto-actions/render@v2
  with:
    to: md # If set, it will be equivalent to `quarto render --to md`
    path: source-folder # By default, the current working dir is used i.e `quarto render .`

Ill check this out and test - should be straight forward.

Is there a reason we're using .qmd instead of .rmd?
