 A GitHub action to create a pull request for changes to your repository in the actions workspace.

 2. Commit all changes to a new branch. The commit will be made using the name and email of the `HEAD` commit author.
 3. Create a pull request to merge the new branch into the currently active branch executing the workflow.
 
+Note: Modifying a repository during workflows is not good practice in general.
+However, this action opens up some interesting possibilities when used carefully.
+This action is experimental and may not work well for repositories that have a very high frequency of commits.

 ## Usage
 
-```hcl
-action "Create Pull Request" {
-  uses = "peter-evans/create-pull-request@v1.0.0"
-  secrets = ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]
-}
+In addition to the default `GITHUB_TOKEN`, the action requires a `repo` scoped token in order to commit.
+Create one [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens) and pass that as a secret to the `REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable.
+
+```yml
+    - name: Create Pull Request
+      uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v1.1.2
