 - `true`: this is the default value, it will behave as usual.
 - `false`: this prevents the action from pushing at all, no `git push` command is run.

 One way to use this is if you want to force push to a branch of your repo: you'll need to set the `push` input to, for example, `origin yourBranch --force`.
 
+### Creating a new branch
+
+If you want the action to commit in a new branch, you can use the `new_branch` input.
+
+Please note that if the branch exists, the action will still try push to it, but it's possible that the push will be rejected by the remote as non-straightforward.
+
+If that's the case, you need to make sure that the branch you want to commit to is already checked out before you run the action. If you want to commit files "across different branches", here are two ways to do it:
+
+1. You can check them out in two different directories, generate your files, move them to your destination and then run `add-and-commit` in the destination directory using the `cwd` input.
+2. You can manually commit those files with `git` commands as you would on your machine. There are several ways to do this depending on the scenario. One of them if to stash your changes, checkout the destination branch, and popping the stash. You can then use the `add-and-commit` action as usual. Please note that this is just an example and may not work for you, since your use case may be different.

 ### Tagging
 
 You can use the `tag` option to enter the arguments for a `git add` command. In order for the action to isolate the tag name from the rest of the arguments, it should be the first word not preceded by an hyphen (e.g. `-a tag-name -m "some other stuff"` is ok).
