@@ -7,6 +7,106 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [8.0.2] - 2022-02-07
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- The `commit` input is now properly listed in the README. (#360)
+
+## [8.0.1] - 2022-01-23
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Fixed a bug that prevented the `--allow-empty` flag from being used for the `commit` input. (#352)
+- Fixed README and CHANGELOG docs for the `pull` input, that were still showing the option to use `NO-PULL` to prevent pulling (while now it's the default behavior). (#354)
+- Added a paragraph to the FAQs section of the README, that explains how to work with PRs in v8. (#351)
+
+## [8.0.0] - 2022-01-20
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- **[BREAKING]** The action will now work with whatever ref has been checked out, without pulling or switching branches by default. You can still pull using the `pull` input and create a new branch with the newly-added `new_branch` input. For more info, check commit [`6fdb34e`](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/commit/6fdb34ed01d242c909eeb7e31bf1c4d37db43a54).
+
+### Removed:
+
+- **[BREAKING]** The `signoff` input has been removed, use `commit` instead. (#331)
+- **[BREAKING]** The `pull_strategy` input has been removed, use `pull` instead.
+- **[BREAKING]** The `branch` and `branch_mode` inputs have been removed, check commit [`6fdb34e`](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/commit/6fdb34ed01d242c909eeb7e31bf1c4d37db43a54) for more info.
+- **[BREAKING]** The `pull` input doesn't support `NO-PULL` anymore: if you don't want the action to pull, simply remove the input, as it's the default behavior now.
+
+### Added:
+
+- Added the `commit` input, that allows you to change the arguments for the `git commit` command. (#331)
+- Added the `new_branch` input. ([`6fdb34e`](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/commit/6fdb34ed01d242c909eeb7e31bf1c4d37db43a54))
+- Added the `commit_long_sha` output. (#349)
+
+## [7.5.0] - 2021-12-03
+
+### Added:
+
+- Support remote branch creation: use the `branch_mode` input to make the action create a new branch when there's no branch with the given name on the remote (#329)
+
+## [7.4.0] - 2021-09-30
+
+### Added:
+
+- Added `pull` input: you can use it to change the arguments of the `git pull` command (#294)
+
+### Changed:
+
+- Deprecated `pull_strategy`: use `pull` instead (#294)
+
+## [7.3.0] - 2021-09-06
+
+### Added:
+
+- Added custom committer support via the `committer_name` and `committer_email` inputs (#264)
+- Added `commit_sha` output (#275)
+- Added `pathspec_error_handling` input (#280)
+
+## [7.2.1] - 2021-05-11
+
+### Fixed:
+
+- Fixed an issue with missing outputs (#189)
+
+## [7.2.0] - 2021-04-22
+
+### 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).
+

+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.

-### Adding files:
+### Git arguments
+
+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
 
 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.

 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:
+### 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're **really** sure that you want to commit to that branch, you can also force-push by setting the `push` input to something like `origin yourBranchName --set-upstream --force`.
+
+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).
 
-### Outputs:
+## Outputs
 
 The action provides these outputs:
 
 - `committed`: whether the action has created a commit (`'true'` or `'false'`)
-- `pushed`: whether the action has pushed to teh remote(`'true'` or `'false'`)
+- `commit_long_sha`: the full SHA of the commit that has just been created
+- `commit_sha`: the short 7-character 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:
+## FAQs
+
+### Working with PRs
+
+By default, when you use `actions/checkout` on a PR, it will checkout the head commit in a detached head state.
+If you want to make some changes, you have to checkout the branch the PR is coming from in the head repo.  
+You can set it up like this:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v2
+    with:
+      repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}
+      ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}
+```
+
+You can find the full docs for payloads of `pull_request` events [here](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#webhook-payload-example-32).
+
+If you're planning on running this only on "internal" PRs (where head and base are in the same repo) then you can omit the `repository` input.  
+If you're planning to use this with PRs coming from other forks, please keep in mind that you might not have write access to those repos.
+You can try setting up the repo with your PAT, as explained in the ["About tokens" paragraph](#about-tokens) of this section.
+
+Keep in mind that this "custom checkout" is meant only for PRs: if your workflow runs on multiple events (like `push` or `workflow_dispatch`), you could try having this step run only for `pull_request` events, while other ones will trigger the usual checkout.  
+If you wish to do so, you can use the `step.if` property, [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsif)'s the docs.
+
+### About 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.
+
+### The commit from the action is not triggering CI!
+
+That's because you're checking out the repo using the built-in [`GITHUB_TOKEN` secret](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication): GitHub sees that the push event has been triggered by a commit generated by CI, and doesn't run any further checks to avoid unintentional check loops.
+
+**If you're sure** that you want the commits generated during CI to trigger other workflow runs, you can checkout the repo using a [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token): this will make the resulting commit the same as if you made it yourself.  
+If you're using `actions/checkout`, check out their [docs](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token) to see how to set your repo token.
+
+### 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)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Different author/committer configurations
+
+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"
