 # Create a JavaScript Action using TypeScript
 
-This template offers an easy way to get started writing a JavaScript action with TypeScript compile time support, unit testing with Jest and using the GitHub Actions Toolkit.
+# Create a JavaScript Action
 
-## Getting Started
+Use this template to bootstrap the creation of a JavaScript action.:rocket:
 
-See the walkthrough located [here](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/typescript-action.md).
+This template includes compilication support, tests, a validation workflow, publishing, and versioning guidance.  
 
-In addition to walking your through how to create an action, it also provides strategies for versioning, releasing and referencing your actions.
+If you are new, there's also a simpler introduction.  See the [Hello World JavaScript Action](https://github.com/actions/hello-world-javascript-action)
+
+## Create an action from this template
+
+Click the `Use this Template` and provide the new repo details for your action
+
+## Code in Master
+
+Install the dependencies  
+```bash
+$ npm install
+```
+
+Build the typescript
+```bash
+$ npm run build
+```
+
+Run the tests :heavy_check_mark:  
+```bash
+$ npm test
+
+ PASS  ./index.test.js
+  ✓ throws invalid number (3ms)
+  ✓ wait 500 ms (504ms)
+  ✓ test runs (95ms)
+
+...
+```
+
+## Change action.yml
+
+The action.yml contains defines the inputs and output for your action.
+
+Update the action.yml with your name, description, inputs and outputs for your action.
+
+See the [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/articles/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions)
+
+## Change the Code
+
+Most toolkit and CI/CD operations involve async operations so the action is run in an async function.
+
+```javascript
+import * as core from '@actions/core';
+...
+
+async function run() {
+  try { 
+      ...
+  } 
+  catch (error) {
+    core.setFailed(error.message);
+  }
+}
+
+run()
+```
+
+See the [toolkit documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/README.md#packages) for the various packages.
+
+## Publish to a distribution branch
+
+Actions are run from GitHub repos.  We will create a releases branch and only checkin production modules (core in this case). 
+
+Comment out node_modules in .gitignore and create a releases/v1 branch
+```bash
+# comment out in distribution branches
+# node_modules/
+```
+
+```bash
+$ git checkout -b releases/v1
+$ git commit -a -m "prod dependencies"
+```
+
+```bash
+$ npm prune --production
+$ git add node_modules
+$ git commit -a -m "prod dependencies"
+$ git push origin releases/v1
+```
+
+Your action is now published! :rocket: 
+
+See the [versioning documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md)
+
+## Validate
+
+You can now validate the action by referencing the releases/v1 branch
+
+```yaml
+uses: actions/javascript-action@releases/v1
+with:
+  milliseconds: 1000
+```
+
+See the [actions tab](https://github.com/actions/javascript-action/actions) for runs of this action! :rocket:
+
+## Usage:
+
+After testing you can [create a v1 tag](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md) to reference the stable and tested action
+
+```yaml
+uses: actions/typescript-action@v1
+with:
+  milliseconds: 1000
+```
