 # donotpassgo
-A composite workflow that runs security checks on Go projects. Golang must be installed before this workflow can run.
+A composite workflow that runs general code checks on Go projects, an optional <b>test</b> input is available to trigger unit tests. See [steps](#steps) for more information on the jobs run
+
+## Usage
+adding donotpassgo to workflows is simple, just add the following step to your yaml file:
+```yaml
+- name: "checkpoint"
+  uses: https://code.jakeyoungdev.com/actions/donotpassgo@main
+```
+
+donotpassgo has optional support for running unit tests, this can be added by setting the <b>test</b> flag to <b>standard</b>
+```yaml
+- name: "checkpoint"
+  uses: https://code.jakeyoungdev.com/actions/donotpassgo@main
+  with:
+    test: standard
+```
+
+running unit tests with ginkgo is also supported by setting the <b>test</b> flag to <b>ginkgo</b> 
+```yaml
+- name: "checkpoint"
+  uses: https://code.jakeyoungdev.com/actions/donotpassgo@main
+  with:
+    test: ginkgo
+```
 
 ## Steps
-### govulncheck
-govulncheck is installed using 'go install' and is used to scan the application dependencies and standard library.
-
-### gosec
-gosec is used for static code analysis.
-
-## TODO
-1. Add support for unit tests
-2. Add ginkgo/gomega support

+donotpassgo runs several workflow jobs to ensure quality and secure go code, these steps may be updated as new tools develop.
+### Dependency Scans
+[govulncheck](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck) is installed using golang and is used to scan for vulnerabilities in the project dependencies and standard library.
+### Static Code Analysis
+[gosec](https://github.com/securego/gosec) inspects source code for security problems
+### Unit Tests
+donotpassgo supports two unit tests libraries: the standard go library and [ginkgo](https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo)
