     # Runs djdefi/cloc-action
     - name: Count Lines of Code (cloc)
-      uses: djdefi/cloc-action@5
+      uses: djdefi/cloc-action@6
 ```
+
+## Additional Options
+
+The `cloc-action` allows you to provide additional options to customize your usage. These can be passed during the step execution in your workflow file. The options are passed to the underlying `cloc` tool.
+
+Here is an example of how to provide additional options:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Count Lines of Code with additional options
+  uses: djdefi/cloc-action@main
+  with:
+    options: --exclude-lang=YAML --md --report-file=cloc.md
+```
+
+In the example above:
+
+`--exclude-lang=YAML` is used to exclude YAML files from the count.
+`--md` is used to generate the output in markdown format.
+`--report-file=cloc.md` is used to write the output to the `cloc.md` file.
+
+These are just a few examples, other options are available based on your needs, some of which you can find in the [`cloc` documentation](https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc).
+
+Note: Please provide the options without any quotes. Any options requiring quotes should be escaped inside a string. For example, `options: "--exclude-dir=path\ to\ folder"`
+
+This level of customization lets you control how `cloc` works based on the specific needs of your project.
