 # checkout
 
-This action checks out your repository so that your workflow operates from the root of the repository
+This action checks out your repository to `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, so that your workflow can access the contents of your repository.
+
+By default, this is equivalent to running `git fetch` and `git checkout $GITHUB_SHA`, so that you'll always have your repo contents at the version that triggered the workflow.
+See [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows) to learn what `$GITHUB_SHA` is for different kinds of events.
 
 # Usage
 
 See [action.yml](action.yml)
 
 Basic:
+
 ```yaml
 steps:
 - uses: actions/checkout@master
 - uses: actions/setup-node@master
   with:
-    version: 10.x 
+    node-version: 10.x 
 - run: npm install
 - run: npm test
 ```
 
+By default, the branch or tag ref that triggered the workflow will be checked out. If you wish to check out a different branch, specify that using `with.ref`:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@master
+  with:
+    ref: some-branch
+```
+
