+# checkout_dependency
+
+This action checks-out your repository under the specified destination directory using the action actions/checkout. Use the `depends-On: repository/pull/xx` to override the reference to checkout.
+
+# Usage
+
+<!-- start usage -->
+
+```yaml
+- uses: ansible-network/github_actions/.github/actions/checkout_dependency@main
+  with:
+    # Repository name with owner. For example, ansible-collections/kubernetes.core
+    repository: ""
+
+    # The branch, tag, or SHA to checkout when the pull request body does not
+    # contain any override for this repository.
+    ref: ""
+
+    # Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository
+    path: ""
+
+    # Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history for all branches and tags.
+    fetch-depth: "1"
+```
+
+<!-- end usage -->
+
+# Depending on others PRs
+
+The pull request body should contain the following sequence:
+
+```
+Depends-On: repository/pull/xx
+```
+
+# Scenarios
+
+- [checkout pull request 12345 from repository my_org/my_collection](#Checkout-depending-pull-request)
