+# Git Actions
+
+This project intends to implement GitHub/Gitea Actions using `git` rather than Node. 
+
+## Reasoning
+
+Both [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/actions) and [Gitea Actions](https://gitea.org/actions) rely on Node for their execution.  This means they require a minimum version of NodeJS to be installed.
+
+I have projects that also rely on Node.  What if one of those projects needs to be built using an earlier version of Node?
+
+## Features
+
+At this time, only `checkout` is implemented:
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+job:
+  job1:
+    steps:
+      - uses: https://git.inteligr8.com/inteligr8/git-actions/checkout
+      - run: |
+          echo "Default branch checked out"
+```
