-The Action will only commit files back, if changes are available. The resulting commit **will not trigger** another GitHub Actions Workflow run!
+## Example
 
-It is recommended to use this Action in Workflows which listen to the `pull_request` event. If you want to use the Action on other events, you have to hardcode the value for `branch` as `github.head_ref` is only available in Pull Requests.
+In this example, we're running `php-cs-fixer` in a PHP project to fix the codestyle automatically, then commit possible changed files back to the repository.
 
-## Example Usage
-
-This Action will only work, if the job in your Workflow changes project files.
-The most common use case for this, is when you're running a Linter or Code-Style fixer on GitHub Actions.
-
-In this example I'm running `php-cs-fixer` in a PHP project.
+Note that we explicitly specify `${{ github.head_ref }}` in the checkout Action.

-### Inputs
+## Inputs
 
 Checkout [`action.yml`](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/blob/master/action.yml) for a full list of supported inputs.
 
+## Outputs
+
+You can use these outputs to trigger other Actions in your Workflow run based on the result of `git-auto-commit-action`.
+
+- `changes_detected`: Returns either "true" or "false" if the repository was dirty and files have changed.
+
+## Limitations & Gotchas
+
+### Checkout the correct branch
+
+You must use `action/checkout@v2` or later versions to checkout the repository.
+In non-`push` events, such as `pull_request`, make sure to specify the `ref` to checkout:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v2
+  with:
+    ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}
+```
+
+You have to do this do avoid that the `checkout`-Action clones your repository in a detached state.
+
+### Commits of this Action do not trigger new Workflow runs
+
+The resulting commit **will not trigger** another GitHub Actions Workflow run.
+This is due to [limititations set by GitHub](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#triggering-new-workflows-using-a-personal-access-token).
+
+> When you use the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN to perform tasks on behalf of the GitHub Actions app, events triggered by the GITHUB_TOKEN will not create a new workflow run. This prevents you from accidentally creating recursive workflow runs.
+
+You can change this by creating a new [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new),
+storing the token as a secret in your repository and then passing the new token to the [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) Action step.
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v2
+  with:
+    token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
+```
+
+### Unable to commit into PRs from forks
+
+GitHub currently prohibits Actions to push commits to forks, even when they created a PR and allow edits.
+See [issue #25](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/25) for more information.
+
+### Signing Commits & Other Git Command Line Options
+
+Using command lines options needs to be done manually for each workflow which you require the option enabled. So for example signing commits requires you to import the gpg signature each and every time. The following list of actions are worth checking out if you need to automate these tasks regulary
+- [Import GPG Signature](https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg) (Suggested by [TGTGamer](https://github.com/tgtgamer))
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-- If your Workflow can't push the commit to the repository because of authentication issues, please update your Workflow configuration and usage of [`ations/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage). (Updating the `token` value with a Personal Access Token should fix your issues)
+### Action does not push commit to repository
 
-## Known Issues
+Make sure to [checkout the correct branch](#checkout-the-correct-branch).
 
-- GitHub currently prohibits Actions like this to push changes from a fork to the upstream repository. See [issue #25](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/25) for more information.
+### Action does not push commit to repository: Authentication Issue
+
+If your Workflow can't push the commit to the repository because of authentication issues,
+please update your Workflow configuration and usage of [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage).
+
+Updating the `token` value with a Personal Access Token should fix your issues.
+
+### Push to protected branches
+
+If your repository uses [protected branches](https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/configuring-protected-branches) you have to do the following changes to your Workflow for the Action to work properly.
+
+You have to enable force pushes to a protected branch (See [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/enabling-force-pushes-to-a-protected-branch)) and update your Workflow to use force push like this.
+
+```yaml
+    - uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
+      with:
+        commit_message: Apply php-cs-fixer changes
+        push_options: --force
+```
+
+In addition, you have to create a new [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new),
+store the token as a secret in your repository and pass the new token to the [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#usage) Action step.
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v2
+  with:
+    token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
+```
+You can learn more about Personal Access Token in the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token).
+
+Note: If you're working in an organisation and you don't want to create the PAT from your personal account, we recommend using a bot-account for such tokens.
+
+### No new workflows are triggered by the commit of this action
+
+This is due to limitations set up by GitHub, [commits of this Action do not trigger new Workflow runs](#commits-of-this-action-do-not-trigger-new-workflow-runs).
 
 ## Versioning
 
 We use [SemVer](http://semver.org/) for versioning. For the versions available, see the [tags on this repository](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/tags).
 
+We also provide major version tags to make it easier to always use the latest release of a major version. For example you can use `stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4` to always use the latest release of the current major version.
