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 that describe a pipeline and its components in a structured way and help with automated provenance tracking.

Generate and update a RO Crate using the nf-core pipelines rocrate command. This runs automatically with nf-core pipelines create and nf-core pipelines sync.

The command takes a pipeline directory and generates a RO Crate for it using the repo2rocrate library.
