Create a ROCrate

The nf-core pipelines rocrate command generates a Research Object (RO) Crate for your pipeline. RO Crates are an open-source standard which in this case describe a pipeline and its components in a structured way and help with automated provenance tracking.

You can generate and update a RO Crate using the nf-core pipelines rocrate command (which is automatically run with nf-core pipelines create and nf-core pipelines sync).

This command takes a pipeline directory and attempts to generate a RO Crate for it, relying heavily on the repo2rocrate library.
