+# [Action] Signed Commits
 
+This GitHub Action sets up GPG and Git configuration for repositories, enabling signed commits.
+
+## Features
+
+- Imports a GPG key and configures it for commit signing
+- Sets global Git configurations for `user.name`, `user.email`, and GPG signing key
+
+## Usage
+
+### Step 1: Add the Action to Your Workflow
+
+To use this action in a repository, include it as a step in your workflow YAML file, specifying the required secrets:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  setup-gpg-git:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout code
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Configure GPG and Git for Signed Commits
+        uses: https://git.kasper.onl/automations/verified-commit@v0.0.1
+        with:
+          GPG_SIGNING_KEY: ${{ secrets.GPG_SIGNING_KEY }}
+          GPG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
+          GPG_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY_ID }}
+          GIT_USERNAME: "Jane Doe"
+          GIT_EMAIL: "jane.doe@example.com"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add Required Secrets
+
+For this action to work, you'll need to add the following secrets to your GitHub repository:
+
+1. **GPG_SIGNING_KEY**: Your GPG signing key, base64-encoded.
+2. **GPG_PASSPHRASE**: The passphrase associated with your GPG key.
+3. **GPG_KEY_ID**: The ID of the GPG key used for signing
+4. **GIT_USERNAME**: The username for the Git Config
+5. **GIT_EMAIL**: The E-Mail for the Git Config
