📄 Description

When I started using act, it kept failing because I was missing the GITHUB_TOKEN and I couldn't be bothered to figure it out.

I was unsure how to get this token, so I did some research and wanted to lessen the confusion of future users.

I believe this is such a common use-case that it bears spelling out.

Fixes #967
