+# Github Actions
+
+Yaclog makes an action available for Github Actions and compatible CI systems.
+
+## The Yaclog Action
+
+To use the Yaclog action add the following to your workflow steps
+
+````{jinja}
+```yaml
+      - name: Get version info
+        uses: drewcassidy/yaclog@{{ ref }}
+        id: yaclog
+```
+````
+
+### Inputs
+
+```{confval} release
+:type: string
+
+  When set, creates a new release and commits it. Directly passed to the arguments of `yaclog release --yes --commit`.
+
+  Can be a version number or an increment tag like `--major`, `--minor`, or `--patch`.
+  The resulting commit and tag will NOT be pushed back to the repo. You must add a step to do this yourself
+```
+
+```{confval} markdown
+:type: boolean
+:default: true
+
+If the output should be in markdown format or not. Equivalent to the `--markdown` flag
+```
+
+### Outputs
+
+```{confval} version
+The current version number, equivalent to the output of `yaclog show --version`. For example, `1.3.1`
+```
+
+```{confval} name
+The most recent version name, equivalent to the output of `yaclog show --name`. For example, `Version 1.3.0`
+```
+
+```{confval} header
+The entire header for the most recent version, equivalent to the output of `yaclog show --header`. For example, `Version 1.3.0 - 2024-08-08`
+```
+
+```{confval} body_file
+The path to a temporary file containing the body of the most recent version. Contents equivalent to `yaclog show --body`
+```
+
+```{confval} changelog
+The path to the changelog file. Usually `CHANGELOG.md` in the current directory.
+```
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Get changelog information in your Build workflow
+
+````{jinja}
+```yaml
+name: Build
+
+on:
+  push:
+  pull_request:
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout Mod Repo
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        
+      - uses: drewcassidy/yaclog@{{ ref }}
+        id: yaclog
+        
+      # Your build and test actions go here
+        
+      - name: Publish to Github
+        if: github.event_name == 'push' && startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags')
+        run: |
+          gh release create {{ '${{ github.ref_name }}' }} \
+            --notes-file "{{ '${{ steps.yaclog.outputs.body_file }}' }}" \
+            --title "{{ '${{ steps.yaclog.outputs.name }}' }}" 
+        env:
+          GH_TOKEN: {{ '${{ github.token }}' }}
+
+```
+````
+
+### Workflow to make a new release
+
+If you want to be able to create a new release for your project directly from the Github UI, you can make a new workflow
+you can dispatch directly. 
+
+Please note that this workflow does NOT create any releases in Github or any package managers. Instead, your normal build workflow should do this when it detects a push to a tag.
+
+````{jinja}
+```yaml
+name: Release
+
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:
+    inputs:
+      release:
+        description: 'type of release to use'
+        required: true
+        default: 'patch'
+        type: choice
+        options:
+        - major 
+        - minor
+        - patch
+
+permissions:
+  contents: write
+
+jobs:
+  yaclog-release:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout Mod Repo
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      
+      - name: Yaclog Release
+        uses: drewcassidy/yaclog@{{ ref }}
+        with: 
+          release: '--{{ '${{ inputs.release }}' }}'
+          
+      - name: Push Changes
+        run: |
+          git config --global user.name "github-actions"
+          git config --global user.email "github-actions@github.com"
+          git push
+          git push --tags
