+Create a new branch, makes a commit and a creates a pull-request using with a github-actions user as the author. These will be created on the account/repo that called the actions.
 
-This will be created on the account/repo that called the actions, it will not create a pull-request in a forked repo.
+This action is intended as a step in a larger workflow and at a minimum the repository must have already been checked out and be on the branch that we want to target and there must be some changes to commit.
+
+## Usage
+
+**workflow.yml**
+```yml
+steps:
+  - name: Create pull-request
+    uses: silverstripe/gha-pull-request@main
+    with:
+      branch: pulls/4/my-branch
+      title: NEW My pull-request title
+      description: (Optional) This text will appear in the body of the GitHub pull-request
