-**Tip 1:** We recommend using the action with `on: push` instead of `on: pull_request` to get the most accurate information related to the commit on Cypress Cloud. With pull requests, the merge commit is created automatically and might not correspond to a meaningful commit in the repository.

+### Git information
+
+Cypress uses the [@cypress/commit-info](https://github.com/cypress-io/commit-info) package to associate Git details (branch, commit message, author) with each run. It typically uses Git commands, expecting a .git folder. In Docker or similar environments where .git is absent, or if you need different data in the Cypress Cloud, Git information can be passed via custom environment variables.
+
+```yml
+name: Cypress tests
+on: push
+jobs:
+  cypress-run:
+    name: Cypress run
+    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Cypress run

+          # Get the short ref name of the branch that triggered the workflow run
+          COMMIT_INFO_BRANCH: ${{ github.ref_name }}
+```
+
+Please refer to the [Cypress Cloud Git information environment variables](https://on.cypress.io/guides/continuous-integration/introduction#Git-information) section in our documentation for more examples.
+
+Please refer to the [default GitHub environment variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables#default-environment-variables) for additional GitHub examples. 
+
+### Automatic PR number and URL detection
+
+When recording runs to Cypress Cloud, the PR number and URL can be automatically detected if you pass `GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}`
+via the workflow `env`. When set, this value enables the Action to perform additional logic that grabs the related PR number and URL (if they
+exist) and sets them in the environment variables `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_ID` and `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_URL`, respectively.
+* See Cypress' documentation on [CI Build Information](https://on.cypress.io/guides/continuous-integration/introduction#CI-Build-Information)
+
+Example workflow using the variables:
+```yml
+name: Example echo PR number and URL
+on: push
+jobs:
+  cypress-run:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout

+    env:
+      CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY: ${{ secrets.CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY }}
+      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+#### Triggering event: `pull_request`/`pull_request_target`
+
+For either of these events, we set `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_ID` and `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_URL` to that of the PR number and URL, respectively, of the
+PR that triggered the workflow.
+
+#### Triggering event: `push`
+
+When a commit on a branch without a PR is made, the Cypress GitHub Action checks to see if the commit that triggered the workflow has a
+related PR. If the commit exists in any other PRs, it's considered a related PR. When there are related PRs, we grab the first related PR
+and use that PR's number and URL for `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_ID` and `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_URL`, respectively.
+
+If no related PR is detected, `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_ID` and `CYPRESS_PULL_REQUEST_URL` will be undefined.
+
+### Merge SHA into SHA
+
+We recommend using the action with `on: push` rather than `on: pull_request` or `on: merge_group` for more accurate commit information in Cypress Cloud. When running on pull_request or merge_group, the commit message defaults to "merge SHA into SHA". You can overwrite the commit message sent to Cypress Cloud by setting an environment variable.
+
+```yml
+name: Cypress tests
+on: push
+jobs:
+  cypress-run:
+    name: Cypress run
