-# Changelog
-
-All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
-
-The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
-and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
-
-## [Unreleased]
-
-## [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).
-
-## [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)
-

-
-### Changed:
-

-
-### Fixed:

-- Logs are now displayed on Windows too
-- Remove unnecessary steps

-
-## [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:

-- **[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)

+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.

 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'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).

+You can also change the arguments of the push command for tags: every argument in the `tag_push` input will be appended to the `git push --tags` command.  
+For more info on how git arguments are parsed, see [the "Git arguments" section](#git-arguments).

+
+- `committed`: whether the action has created a commit (`'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'`)

+
+## 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.  
@@ -132,19 +205,18 @@ Some users reported that they were getting an error:
 
 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
+### Performance on large repos
 
-The action provides these outputs:
+By default, the action will fetch the repository before starting to work on it: this ensures that it can see the already existing refs.  
 
-- `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'`)
+When working with a repository that has a lot of branches and tags, fetching it can take a long time. If the fetch step is taking too much time, you can decide to skip it by setting the `fetch` input to `false`: this will prevent the action from running `git fetch` altogether. 
 
-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).
+Please note that you have to set up your workflow accordingly: not fetching the repo can impact branch and tag creation within the action, and for this reason it's recommended to disable it only if necessary. Issue ref: [#386](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/issues/386)
