+#### **bump-policy:**
+Set version bump ignore policy. Useful for pull requests between branches with version bumps. Options are as follows:
+
+* `'all'` (default): checks all commit messages and skips bump if any previous bumps found
+* `'ignore'`: always bump regardless of whether bumps included in commit messages
+* `'last-commit'`: bump if last commit was not version bump
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+- name:  'Automated Version Bump'
+  uses:  'phips28/gh-action-bump-version@master'
+  env:
+    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+  with:
