-You **do not** have to create a new secret called `GITHUB_TOKEN` in your repository. `GITHUB_TOKEN` is a special token GitHub creates automatically during a Workflow run. (See [the documentation](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token) for details)
-
 The Action will only commit files back, if changes are available. The resulting commit **will not trigger** another GitHub Actions Workflow run!
 
 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.

 ### Inputs
 
 Checkout [`action.yml`](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/blob/master/action.yml) for a full list of supported inputs.
 
+## 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)
+
 ## Known Issues
 
 - 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.
