Each GitHub commit triggers a build (branches are supported as the branch info is passed in the WebHook) which can be either "classic" R CMD build or a custom shell script (hence you can do anything you want). The result is a tar ball (which includes the generated files) and that tar ball gets published in the R package repository. R CMD  check is run as well on the tar ball and the results are published.
