+## Prerequisite
+
+This action assumes that the repository has already been checked out before
+calling the action, typically using `actions/checkout@v4`. If you have not
+checked out the code in a previous step, make sure to do so to avoid errors.
+
+This action does **not** perform a checkout action itself because it would be
+redundant. This action is part of the repository's codebase, so if the code
+hasn't already been checked out, the action itself wouldn't even be available to
+call.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+    - uses: ./.github/actions/commit_and_push
+      with:
+          gpg_signing_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_SIGNING_KEY }}
+          branch-name: 'branch-name'
+          commit-message: 'commit message'
+```
