+the results to a `repo-properties.yaml` file as well, for use with input to 
+[update custom properties](https://github.com/PandasWhoCode/update-custom-properties) action.

+
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+

+2. Run the workflow. A new commit will be generated on the branch you run it from containing the `repo-properties.yaml`
+file.
