+### Making updates
+
+Actions need the compiled code checked in. This means your changes will only
+take effect if you run the build to generate .js files from the .ts Typescript
+files and check the .js files in as well.
+
+### Adding new dependencies
+
+Check in the Action with everything it needs to run. If you update dependencies
+you will need to commit the changes to Node modules as well.
+
+```bash
+# Remove any non-production dependencies
+npm prune --production
+
+# Compile Typescript to ES6
+npm run build
+
+# Add the compiled Typescript output
+git add lib/
+
+# Add Node dependencies
+git add -f node_modules/*
