 Additionally, you'll want to use the [checkout
 action](https://github.com/actions/checkout) to make sure your script file is
 available.
-
-This action makes it easy to quickly write a script in your workflow that
-uses the GitHub API and the workflow run context.
-
-In order to use this action, a `script` input is provided. The value of that
-input should be the body of an asynchronous function call. The following
-arguments will be provided:
-
-- `github` A pre-authenticated
-  [octokit/rest.js](https://github.com/octokit/rest.js) client
-- `context` An object containing the [context of the workflow
-  run](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/packages/github/src/context.ts)
-- `core` A reference to the [@actions/core](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/core) package
-- `io` A reference to the [@actions/io](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/io) package
-
-Since the `script` is just a function body, these values will already be
-defined, so you don't have to (see examples below).
-
-See [octokit/rest.js](https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/) for the API client
-documentation.
-
-**Note** This action is still a bit of an experiment—the API may change in
-future versions. 🙂
-
-## Development
-
-See [development.md](/docs/development.md).
-
-## Reading step results
-
-The return value of the script will be in the step's outputs under the
-"result" key.
-
-```yaml
-- uses: actions/github-script@v3
-  id: set-result
-  with:
-    script: return "Hello!"
-    result-encoding: string
-- name: Get result
-  run: echo "${{steps.set-result.outputs.result}}"
-```
-
-See ["Result encoding"](#result-encoding) for details on how the encoding of
-these outputs can be changed.
-
-## Result encoding
-
-By default, the JSON-encoded return value of the function is set as the "result" in the
-output of a github-script step. For some workflows, string encoding is preferred. This option can be set using the
-`result-encoding` input:
-
-```yaml
-- uses: actions/github-script@v3
-  id: my-script
-  with:
-    github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
-    result-encoding: string
-    script: return "I will be string (not JSON) encoded!"
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-Note that `github-token` is optional in this action, and the input is there
-in case you need to use a non-default token.
-
-By default, github-script will use the token provided to your workflow.

-### Comment on an issue
-
-```yaml
-on:
-  issues:
-    types: [opened]
-
-jobs:
-  comment:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/github-script@v3
-        with:
-          github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
-          script: |
-            github.issues.createComment({
-              issue_number: context.issue.number,
-              owner: context.repo.owner,
-              repo: context.repo.repo,
-              body: '👋 Thanks for reporting!'
-            })
-```
-
-### Apply a label to an issue
-
-```yaml
-on:

-    types: [opened]
-
-jobs:
-  apply-label:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

-              owner: context.repo.owner,
-              repo: context.repo.repo,
-              labels: ['Triage']
-            })
-```

-### Welcome a first-time contributor
-
-```yaml
-on: pull_request
-
-jobs:
-  welcome:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/github-script@v3
-        with:
-          github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
-          script: |
-            // Get a list of all issues created by the PR opener
-            // See: https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/#pagination
-            const creator = context.payload.sender.login
-            const opts = github.issues.listForRepo.endpoint.merge({
-              ...context.issue,
-              creator,
-              state: 'all'
-            })
-            const issues = await github.paginate(opts)
-
-            for (const issue of issues) {
-              if (issue.number === context.issue.number) {
-                continue
-              }
-
-              if (issue.pull_request) {
-                return // Creator is already a contributor.
-              }
-            }
-
-            await github.issues.createComment({
-              issue_number: context.issue.number,
-              owner: context.repo.owner,
-              repo: context.repo.repo,
-              body: 'Welcome, new contributor!'
-            })
-```
-
-### Download data from a URL
-
-You can use the `github` object to access the Octokit API. For
-instance, `github.request`
-
-```yaml
-on: pull_request
-
-jobs:
-  diff:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/github-script@v3
-        with:
-          github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
-          script: |
-            const diff_url = context.payload.pull_request.diff_url
-            const result = await github.request(diff_url)
-            console.log(result)
-```
-
-_(Note that this particular example only works for a public URL, where the
-diff URL is publicly accessible. Getting the diff for a private URL requires
-using the API.)_
-
-This will print the full diff object in the screen; `result.data` will
-contain the actual diff text.
-
-### Run a separate file
-
-If you don't want to inline your entire script that you want to run, you can
-use a separate JavaScript module in your repository like so:
-
-```yaml
-on: push
-
-jobs:
-  echo-input:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
-      - uses: actions/github-script@v2
-        with:
-          script: |
-            const script = require(`${process.env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE}/path/to/script.js`)
-            console.log(script({github, context}))
-```
-
-_Note that the script path given to `require()` must be an **absolute path** in this case, hence using [`GITHUB_WORKSPACE`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/using-environment-variables#default-environment-variables)._
-
-And then export a function from your module:
-
-```javascript
-module.exports = (github, context) => {
-  return context.payload.client_payload.value
-}
-```
-
-You can also use async functions in this manner, as long as you `await` it in
-the inline script.
-
-Note that because you can't `require` things like the GitHub context or
-Actions Toolkit libraries, you'll want to pass them as arguments to your
-external function.
-
-Additionally, you'll want to use the [checkout
-action](https://github.com/actions/checkout) to make sure your script file is
-available.
