## Usage
that. Note that the action's version you select is independent of the version of _Black_
the action will use.
-The version of _Black_ the action will use can be configured via `version`. The action
-defaults to the latest release available on PyPI. Only versions available from PyPI are
-supported, so no commit SHAs or branch names.

+If you want to include Jupyter Notebooks, _Black_ must be installed with the `jupyter`
+extra. Installing the extra and including Jupyter Notebook files can be configured via
+`jupyter` (default is `false`).
You can also configure the arguments passed to _Black_ via `options` (defaults to
-`'--check --diff'`) and `src` (default is `'.'`)
+`'--check --diff'`) and `src` (default is `'.'`). Please note that the
+[`--check` flag](labels/exit-code) is required so that the workflow fails if _Black_
+finds files that need to be formatted.
Here's an example configuration:
with:
options: "--check --verbose"
src: "./src"
+ jupyter: true
version: "21.5b1"
```
+
+If you want to match versions covered by Black's
+[stability policy](labels/stability-policy), you can use the compatible release operator
+(`~=`):
+
+```yaml
+- uses: psf/black@stable
+ with:
+ options: "--check --verbose"
+ src: "./src"
+ version: "~= 22.0"
+```
