+### Third-party repositories
+
+Since it's possible to `checkout` third-party repositories, you can either define `destination_repository` manually or let
+this action automatically pick up the checked out repository.
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  pull-request:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+      with:
+        repository: "octocat/hello-world"
+    - name: pull-request
+      uses: repo-sync/pull-request@v2
+      with:
+        destination_branch: "main"
+        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+      # destination_repository: "octocat/hello-world" <- You can also do this but not necessary
+```
+
+**Priority will be set as follows:**
+
+1. `destination_repository` (Manually set)
+2. Checked out repository
+3. Repository that triggered the action (`GITHUB_REPOSITORY`)
+
 ### Outputs
 
 The following outputs are available: `pr_url`, `pr_number`, `has_changed_files ("true"|"false")`.
