+### Added:
+
+- `default_author`: this input allows you to control how the action fills missing author name or email (issue #167)
+- `github_token` input introduced to get token to use in API calls
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Git args are now parsed with [`string-argv`](https://npm.im/string-argv), the format has to comply with what the package can parse (issue #179)
+
+## [7.1.2] - 2021-04-16
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Git args parsing now correctly handles quotes, that can be used for multi-word arguments (issue #166)
+
+## [7.1.1] - 2021-04-04
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Git args parsing has been improved, and now handles spaces correctly (issue #154)
+
+## [7.1.0] - 2021-03-03
+
+### Added:
+
+- `pull_strategy`: you can use 'NO-PULL' to prevent the action from pulling from the remote at all.
+
+## [7.0.0] - 2021-01-16
+
+### Changed:
+
+- **[BREAKING]** The token input has been removed: author info will be filled using the GitHub Actor, instead of fetching info from the GitHub API.  
+  The commits will be authored using the GitHub no-reply email associated with the account: username@users.noreply.github.com
+- **[BREAKING]** Because of the change above, the author will now be the user that triggered the action run, and not the author of the last commit: while the two are often the same person, there are instances where they might differ (e.g. when a workflow run is triggered manually).
+
+## [6.2.0] - 2020-12-23
+
+### Added:
+
+- `push` input: allow for custom `git push` arguments to be used, more info in the README. (issue #100)
+
+## [6.1.0] - 2020-12-22
+
+### Added:
+
+- `token` input: you can now use this instead of setting the `GITHUB_TOKEN` env variable, which has been deprecated. This input is optional, its default value is the default `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`. You only need to use this if you want the action to run with a PAT. (issue #110)
+
+### Deprecated:
+
+- `GITHUB_TOKEN`: the use of this env variable is now deprecated in favor of the `token` input, you'll start receiving warnings if you keep using it. (issue #110)
+
+## [6.0.0] - 2020-12-22
+
+### Added:
+
+- (BREAKING?) Multiple git commands: support JSON/YAML arrays for the `add` and `remove` parameters (you still need pass a string as input, but that can be parsed to an array by the action). Using them will run multiple commands in succession. I don't think this will be really breaking anything, but I've used a major version change just to be sure. There's more info about this stuff on the README. (issue #95)
+
+## [5.3.0] - 2020-12-12
+
+### Added:
+
+- Outputs: the action now has 3 outputs (`committed`, `pushed`, and `tagged`) that will be set to either `true` or `false` to tell you what the action has done. The outputs are also shown in the action logs.
+
+## [5.2.0] - 2020-11-11
+
+### Added:
+
+- New `push` option: this lets you tell the action whether to push commit and tags to the repo. The default value is `true`, so that the default behavior is not changed. (issue #86)
+
+## [5.1.2] - 2020-11-10
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Fixed an issue with the build (issue #88)
+
+## [5.1.1] - 2020-11-07
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Fixed typo in parameter name: `pull_strategy` was written as `pull_stategy` (PR #83)
+
+## [5.1.0] - 2020-10-07
+
+### Added:
+
+- The default commit message now displays the name of the workflow too (issue #64)
+
+## [5.0.0] - 2020-09-27
+
+### Changed:
+
 - **[BREAKING]** Action parameters: multiple action parameters have been changed, refer to the docs for better info
 - The code is now entirely in TypeScript (PR #57)
 
 ### Fixed:
+
 - Improved input checks
 - Logs are now displayed on Windows too
 - Remove unnecessary steps
 - Remove unused dependencies

 ### Fixed:
+
 - OS-support: the action now properly works on Windows instances (issue #33)

+
 ### Added:
+
 - Tagging: you can now create and update lightweight tags (PR #30)
 
 ## [4.1.0] - 2020-05-01
-### Added: 
+
+### Added:
+
 - `ref` parameter: lets you choose the branch to run the action on, the default is the one that triggered the workflow (issue #29)
 
 ## [4.0.3] - 2020-05-01
+
 ### Fixed:
+
 - Logs: `git diff` won't display logs anymore, to avoid buffer problems (issue #27)
 - Logs: additional info will be logged along with the command outputs
 - Logs: added groups to improve readability
 
 ## [4.0.2] - 2020-04-19
+
 ### Fixed:
+
 - Error handling: failures are now easier to read (issue #25)
 
 ## [4.0.1] - 2020-03-20
+
 ### Fixed:
+
 - Scheduled events: the action can be used in action runs triggered by a scheduled events
 - Warnings: there won't be warnings when both `author_name` and `author_email` are set
 
 ## [4.0.0] - 2020-03-03
+
 ### Removed:
+
 - **[BREAKING]** `path` parameter: see 'Changed' section for more info
 - **[BREAKING]** `pattern` parameter: see 'Changed' section for more info
 
 ### Changed:
+
 - The action now uses `git add` and `git rm` commands, you can choose their arguemnts directly by using the `add` and `remove` parameters
 - **[BREAKING]** Error handling: the action won't stop if one of your git commands fails (e.g. if one of your pathspecs doesn't match any file)
 
 ## [3.1.0] - 2020-02-21
+
 ### Added:
+
 - `remove` parameter: lets you delete files directly from the action
 
 ## [3.0.0] - 2020-01-24

 You can use this GitHub Action to commit changes made in your workflow run directly to your repo: for example, you use it to lint your code, update documentation, commit updated builds, etc....
 
 This is **heavily** inspired by [git-auto-commit-action](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action) (by [Stefan Zweifel](https://github.com/stefanzweifel)): that action automatically detects changed files and commits them. While this is useful for most situations, this doesn't commit untracked files and can sometimes commit unintended changes (such as `package-lock.json` or similar, that may have happened during previous steps).  
 This action lets you choose the path that you want to use when adding & committing changes so that it works as you would normally do using `git` on your machine.
 
-## Usage
+## Inputs
 
 Add a step like this to your workflow:
 
 ```yaml
-- uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v5 # You can change this to use a specific version
+- uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v7 # You can change this to use a specific version.
   with:
     # The arguments for the `git add` command (see the paragraph below for more info)
     # Default: '.'
     add: 'src'
 
-    # The name of the user that will be displayed as the author of the commit
-    # Default: author of the commit that triggered the run
-    author_name: Your Name
+    # The name of the user that will be displayed as the author of the commit.
+    # Default: depends on the default_author input
+    author_name: Author Name
 
-    # The email of the user that will be displayed as the author of the commit
-    # Default: author of the commit that triggered the run
+    # The email of the user that will be displayed as the author of the commit.
+    # Default: depends on the default_author input
     author_email: mail@example.com
 
-    # Name of the branch to use, if different from the one that triggered the workflow
+    # The name of the branch to use, if different from the one that triggered the workflow.
     # Default: the branch that triggered the run
     branch: some-branch
 
-    # The local path to the directory where your repository is located. You should use actions/checkout first to set it up
+    # How the action should behave when the targeted branch is missing: "create" will create a new one on the remote, "throw" will exit
+    # Default: throw
+    branch_mode: create
+
+    # The name of the custom committer you want to use, if different from the author of the commit.
+    # Default: the name of the author (set with either author_name or default_author)
+    committer_name: Committer Name
+
+    # The email of the custom committer you want to use, if different from the author of the commit.
+    # Default: the email of the author (set with either author_email or default_author)
+    committer_email: mail@example.com
+
+    # The local path to the directory where your repository is located. You should use actions/checkout first to set it up.
     # Default: '.'
     cwd: './path/to/the/repo'
 
-    # The message for the commit
-    # Default: 'Commit from GitHub Actions'
+    # Determines the way the action fills missing author name and email. Three options are available:
+    # - github_actor -> UserName <UserName@users.noreply.github.com>
+    # - user_info -> Your Display Name <your-actual@email.com>
+    # - github_actions -> github-actions <email associated with the github logo>
+    # Default: github_actor
+    default_author: github_actor
+
+    # The message for the commit.
+    # Default: 'Commit from GitHub Actions (name of the workflow)'
     message: 'Your commit message'
 
+    # The way the action should handle pathspec errors from the add and remove commands. Three options are available:
+    # - ignore -> errors will be logged but the step won't fail
+    # - exitImmediately -> the action will stop right away, and the step will fail
+    # - exitAtEnd -> the action will go on, every pathspec error will be logged at the end, the step will fail.
+    # Default: ignore
+    pathspec_error_handling: ignore
+
+    # Arguments for the git pull command. Use NO-PULL to avoid the action pulling at all.
+    # Default: '--no-rebase'
+    pull: 'NO-PULL or --rebase --autostash ...'
+
+    # Whether to push the commit and, if any, its tags to the repo. It can also be used to set the git push arguments (see the paragraph below for more info)
+    # Default: true
+    push: false
+
     # The arguments for the `git rm` command (see the paragraph below for more info)
     # Default: ''
-    remove: "./dir/old_file.js"
+    remove: './dir/old_file.js'
 
-    # Whether to use the --signoff option on `git commit` (only `true` and `false` are accepted)
+    # Whether to use the --signoff option on `git commit` (only boolean values accepted*)
     # Default: false
     signoff: true
 
     # Arguments for the git tag command (the tag name always needs to be the first word not preceded by an hyphen)
     # Default: ''
-    tag: "v1.0.0 --force"
-
-  env:
-    # This is necessary in order to push a commit to the repo
-    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # Leave this line unchanged
+    tag: 'v1.0.0 --force'
 ```
 
-### Environment variables:
+### Git arguments
 
-The only `env` variable required is the token for the action to run: GitHub generates one automatically, but you need to pass it through `env` to make it available to actions. You can find more about `GITHUB_TOKEN` [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#github_token-secret).  
-That said, you can just copy the example line and not worry about it. If you do want to use a different token you can pass that in, but I wouldn't see any possible advantage in doing so.
+Multiple options let you provide the git arguments that you want the action to use. It's important to note that these arguments **are not actually used with a CLI command**, but they are parsed by a package called [`string-argv`](https://npm.im/string-argv), and then used with [`simple-git`](https://npm.im/simple-git).  
+What does this mean for you? It means that string that contain a lot of nested quotes may be parsed incorrectly, and that specific ways of declaring arguments may not be supported by this libraries. If you're having issues with your argument strings you can check whether they're being parsed correctly either by [enabling debug logging](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/enabling-debug-logging) for your workflow runs or by testing it directly with `string-argv` ([RunKit demo](https://npm.runkit.com/string-argv)): if each argument and option is aprsed correctly you'll see an array where every string is an option or value.
 
-### Adding files:
+### Adding files
 
 The action adds files using a regular `git add` command, so you can put every kind of argument in the `add` option. For example, if you want to force-add a file: `./path/to/file.txt --force`.  
-The script will not stop if one of the git commands fails. E.g.: if your command shows a "fatal: pathspec 'yourFile' did not match any files" error the action will go on.
+The script will not stop if one of the git commands doesn't match any file. E.g.: if your command shows a "fatal: pathspec 'yourFile' did not match any files" error the action will go on.  
+You can also use JSON or YAML arrays (e.g. `'["first", "second"]'`, `"['first', 'second']"`) to make the action run multiple `git add` commands: the action will log how your input has been parsed. Please mind that your input still needs to be a string because of how GitHub Actions works with inputs: just write your array inside the string, the action will parse it later.
 
-### Deleting files:
+### Deleting files
 
 You can delete files with the `remove` option: that runs a `git rm` command that will stage the files in the given path for removal. As with the `add` argument, you can use every option `git rm` allows (e.g. add `--force` to ignore `.gitignore` rules).  
-The script will not stop if one of the git commands fails. E.g.: if your command shows a "fatal: pathspec 'yourFile' did not match any files" error the action will go on.
+The script will not stop if one of the git commands doesn't match any file. E.g.: if your command shows a "fatal: pathspec 'yourFile' did not match any files" error the action will go on.

Please mind that your input still needs to be a string because of how GitHub Actions works with inputs: just write your array inside the string, the action will parse it later.
 
-### Tagging:
+### Pushing
+
+By default the action runs the following command: `git push origin ${branch input} --set-upstream`. You can use the `push` input to modify this behavior, here's what you can set it to:
+
+- `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.
+- any other string:  
+  The action will use your string as the arguments for the `git push` command. Please note that nothing is used other than your arguments, and the command will result in `git push ${push input}` (no remote, no branch, no `--set-upstream`, you have to include them yourself).
+
+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`.
+
+### 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).
 
-### Examples:
+### Tokens
+
+When pushing, the action uses the token that the local git repository has been configured with: that means that if you want to change it you'll need to do it in the steps that run before this action. For example: if you set up your repo with [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout/) then you have to add the token there.  
+Changing the token with which the repo is configured can be useful if you want to run CI checks on the commit pushed by this action; anyway, it has to be set up outside of this action.
+
+The action automatically gets the GitHub token from a `github_token` input: this input should not be modified by the user, since it doesn't affect the commits as it's only used to access the GitHub API to get user info, in case they selected that option for the commit author.
+
+### About `actions/checkout`
+
+The token you use when setting up the repo with this action will determine what token `add-and-commit` will use.  
+Some users reported that they were getting an error:
+
+```
+> fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
+```
+
+If you're getting this error and you're using `actions/checkout@v1`, try upgrading to `actions/checkout@v2`. If you're still having problems after upgrading, feel free to open an issue. Issue ref: [#146](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/issues/146)
+
+## Outputs
+
+The action provides these outputs:
+
+- `committed`: whether the action has created a commit (`'true'` or `'false'`)
+- `commit_sha`: the short 7-digit sha of the commit that has just been created
+- `pushed`: whether the action has pushed to the remote (`'true'` or `'false'`)
+- `tagged`: whether the action has created a tag (`'true'` or `'false'`)
+
+For more info on how to use outputs, see ["Context and expression syntax"](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions).
+
+## Examples
+
+If you don't want to use your GitHub username for the CI commits, you can use the `default_author` option to make it appear as if it was made by "github-actions"
