-# sdf-action
-Github Action to run `sdf` CLI in workflows.
+[![SDF + Snowflake / Redshift / DBT Tests](https://github.com/sdf-labs/sdf-action/actions/workflows/examples.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sdf-labs/sdf-action/actions/workflows/examples.yml)
+
+
+# Official SDF GitHub Action
+
+This action is used to run SDF in CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions. A common use case would be to run an impact analysis with `sdf compile` and `sdf check` on PR creation. 
+
+*Note: This GitHub action is still < v1, as such certain scenarios may result in unexpected behavior. Please follow the [contributing guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md) and create an issue in this repo if you find any bugs or issues.*
+
+For an in-depth guide on how to use this GitHub, please see the GitHub CI/CD section of [our official docs](https://docs.sdf.com/integrations/cicd/ci_cd)
 
 ## Usage
 Check out this [example workflow](./.github/workflows/examples.yml) to see how to use this action.
 
+<!-- start usage -->
+```yaml
+- uses: sdf-labs/sdf-action@v0
+  with:
+    # The version of SDF to use in the GitHub action.
+    # This should match the version of SDF you use locally in development.
+    sdf_version: '0.2.21'
+
+    # The SDF command to run. The exit code of this command is used to determine
+    # success or failure of the action.
+    command: 'sdf compile'
+
+    # The relative path to the workspace starting from the root of your repository.
+    # The workspace directory is where the `workspace.sdf.yml` file is located.
+    workspace_dir: './my_sdf_workspace/'
+
+    # Whether or not this SDF project is being used with dbt. If so, 
+    # the action runs `sdf dbt refresh` in the container before the 
+    # specified SDF command.
+    is_dbt: 'false' # Defaults to false
+
+    ### SDF Cloud Authentication

+    secret_key: ${{ secrets.SDF_SECRET_KEY }}
+
+    ### Snowflake Integration
+
+    # All of the following are used to authenticate to Snowflake.
+    # All of these are required if using a Snowflake provider.

+    snowflake_username: ${{ secrets.SNOWFLAKE_USERNAME }}
+    snowflake_password: ${{ secrets.SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD }}
