+Autofixing formatting errors
+----------------------------
+
+We use several styling checks(e.g. ``black``, ``flake8``, ``isort``) which are run after 
+you make a pull request. If there is a scenario where any of these checks fail then you
+can comment::
+
+    @githubactions pre-commit
+
+on that pull request. This will trigger a workflow which will autofix formatting errors.
+
+Backporting (optional)
+----------------------
+
+In the case you want to apply changes to a stable branch from a newer branch then you 
+can comment::
+
+    @meeseeksdev backport
+
+This will trigger a workflow which will backport a given change to a branch
+(e.g. @meeseeksdev backport 1.2.x)
