 ## Usage
 
 Project metadata, including the location of the sources to be analyzed, must be declared in the file `sonar-project.properties` in the base directory:
 
 ```properties
-sonar.organization=<replace with your SonarCloud organization key>
+sonar.organization=<replace with your SonarQube Cloud organization key>
-sonar.projectKey=<replace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarCloud>
+sonar.projectKey=<replace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarQube Cloud>
 
 # relative paths to source directories. More details and properties are described
-# in https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/project-administration/narrowing-the-focus/
+# at https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/analysis-scope/

+## Action parameters
+
 You can change the analysis base directory by using the optional input `projectBaseDir` like this:
 
 ```yaml
-uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version> # Ex: v2.1.0, See the latest version at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
-with:
+  with:
-  projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
+    projectBaseDir: app/src
 ```
 
-In case you need to add additional analysis parameters, you can use the `args` option:
+In case you need to specify the version of the Sonar Scanner, you can use the `scannerVersion` option:
 
 ```yaml
-- name: Analyze with SonarCloud
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
-  uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version> # Ex: v2.1.0, See the latest version at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan
   with:
-    projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
+    scannerVersion: 6.2.0.4584
+```
+
+In case you need to add additional analysis parameters, and you do not wish to set them in the `sonar-project.properties` file, you can use the `args` option:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
+  with:
+    projectBaseDir: app/src
     args: >
       -Dsonar.organization=my-organization
       -Dsonar.projectKey=my-projectkey
       -Dsonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml
       -Dsonar.sources=lib/
-      -Dsonar.test.exclusions=tests/**
       -Dsonar.tests=tests/
+      -Dsonar.test.exclusions=tests/**
       -Dsonar.verbose=true
 ```
 
-More information about possible analysis parameters is found in the documentation at:
+You can also specify the URL where to retrieve the SonarScanner CLI from.
-https://docs.sonarcloud.io/advanced-setup/analysis-parameters
+The specified URL overrides the default address: `https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli`.
-
+This can be useful when the runner executing the action is self-hosted and has regulated or no access to the Internet:
-In case you need to specify the version of the Sonar Scanner, you can use the `scannerVersion` option:
 
 ```yaml
-uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version> # Ex: v2.1.0, See the latest version at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
-with:
-  scannerVersion: 6.2.0.4584
-```
-
-See also example configurations at:
-https://github.com/sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action-samples/
-
-### Secrets
-
-- `SONAR_TOKEN` – **Required** this is the token used to authenticate access to SonarCloud. You can generate a token on your [Security page in SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/account/security/). You can set the `SONAR_TOKEN` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository.
-- *`GITHUB_TOKEN` – Provided by Github (see [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token)).*
-
-## Error cleaning up workspace
-
-In some cases, the checkout action may fail to clean up the workspace. This is a known problem for GitHub actions implemented as a docker container (such as `sonarcloud-github-actions`) when self-hosted runners are used. 
-Example of the error message: `File was unable to be removed Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/actions-runner/_work//project/.scannerwork/.sonar_lock'`
-To work around the problem, `sonarcloud-github-action` attempts to fix the permission of the temporary files that it creates. If that doesn't work, you can manually clean up the workspace by running the following action:
-```
-- name: Clean the workspace
-  uses: docker://alpine
   with:
-    args: /bin/sh -c "find \"${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}\" -mindepth 1 ! -name . -prune -exec rm -rf {} +"
+    scannerBinariesUrl: https://my.custom.binaries.url.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/
 ```
-You can find more info [here](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/434).
 
-## Example of pull request analysis
+More information about possible analysis parameters can be found in the [Analysis parameters page](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/analysis-parameters/) of the SonarQube Cloud documentation.

+### Environment variables
 
-Want to see more examples of SonarCloud in action? You can [explore current Open Source projects in SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/explore/projects?sort=-analysis_date?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github&utm_campaign=sc-signup&utm_content=signup-sonarcloud-listing-x-x&utm_term=ww-psp-x) that are using the Clean as You Code methodology.
+- `SONAR_TOKEN` – **Required** this is the token used to authenticate access to SonarQube. You can read more about security tokens in the [documentation](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-account/managing-tokens/). You can set the `SONAR_TOKEN` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository, or you can add them at the level of your GitHub organization (recommended).
+- *`GITHUB_TOKEN` – Provided by Github (see [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token)).*
+- `SONAR_ROOT_CERT` – Holds an additional certificate (in PEM format) that is used to validate the certificate of a secured proxy to SonarQube Cloud. You can set the `SONAR_ROOT_CERT` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository, or you can add them at the level of your GitHub organization (recommended).
 
-## Do not use this GitHub action if you are in the following situations
+Here is an example of how you can pass a certificate (in PEM format) to the Scanner truststore:
 
-* Your code is built with Maven: run 'org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar' during the build
+```yaml
-* Your code is built with Gradle: use the SonarQube plugin for Gradle during the build
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
-* You want to analyze a .NET solution: Follow our interactive tutorial for GitHub Actions after importing your project directly into SonarCloud
+  env:
-* You want to analyze C and C++ code: rely on our [SonarCloud Scan for C and C++](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan-for-c-and-c) and look at [our sample C and C++ project](https://github.com/sonarsource-cfamily-examples?q=gh-actions-sc&type=all&language=&sort=)
+    SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
+    SONAR_ROOT_CERT: ${{ secrets.SONAR_ROOT_CERT }}
+```
+
+If your source code file names contain special characters that are not covered by the locale range of `en_US.UTF-8`, you can configure your desired locale like this:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@<action version>
+  env:
+    SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
+    LC_ALL: "ru_RU.UTF-8"
+```
+
+## Alternatives for Java, .NET, and C/C++ projects
+
+This GitHub Action will not work for all technologies. If you are in one of the following situations, you should use the following alternatives:
+
+* Your code is built with Maven. Read the documentation about our [SonarScanner for Maven](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/ci-based-analysis/sonarscanner-for-maven/).
+* Your code is built with Gradle. Read the documentation about our [SonarScanner for Gradle](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/ci-based-analysis/sonarscanner-for-gradle/).
+* You want to analyze a .NET solution. Read the documentation about our [SonarScanner for .NET](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/ci-based-analysis/sonarscanner-for-dotnet/introduction/).
+* You want to analyze C or C++ code. Starting from SonarQube 10.6, this GitHub Action will scan C and C++ out of the box. If you want to have better control over the scan configuration/setup, you can switch to the [SonarQube Cloud Scan for C and C++](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan-for-c-and-c) GitHub Action - look at [our sample C and C++ project](https://github.com/sonarsource-cfamily-examples?q=gh-actions-sc&type=all&language=&sort=).
