parsing sessioinfo object from GH actions?

[njtierney]

Hello!

I'm currently trying to identify system differences between my local machine and github actions, and I was wondering if there might be a way to extract session info from GH actions?

the sessioninfo::session_diff() function looks perfect, and I love how https://github.com/r-lib/sessioninfo#comparing-session-information shows comparison with an issue link.

Ideally, it would be great if I could get back the sessioninfo object from GH actions somehow, so that I can do a join on package names to work out if and where there are different package versions - that is the end goal that I am looking for here.

Parsing is hard, but since #68 there is direct support for diffing, and this will also improve the diffs: #69

So this is very much in motion, I would say, and I am going to close this issue.
