-# Handling CLAs with GitHub Action
+# Handling CLAs with GitHub Action (Alpha release)
 
 Streamline your workflow and let this github-action (a lite version of [CLA Assistant](https://github.com/cla-assistant/cla-assistant)) handle the legal side of contributions to a repository for you. CLA assistant enables contributors to sign CLAs from within a pull request. With this GitHub Action we get rid of the need for a centrally managed database by **storing the contributor's signature data** in a decentralized way - **in the repository's file system **
