+You can use either workload identity federation based keyless authentication or service account based authentication.
+
+#### Workload identity federation based authentication
+
+Configure the workload identity federation for github actions in gcloud (for steps, [refer here](https://github.com/google-github-actions/auth#setting-up-workload-identity-federation)). In the steps, your service account should the ability to push to GCR. Then use google-github-actions/auth action for authentication using workload identity like below:
+
+```yaml
+name: ci
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: main
+
+jobs:
+  login:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:

+      uses: 'google-github-actions/auth@v0'
+      with:

+```
+
+> Replace `<workload_identity_provider>` with configured workload identity provider. For steps to configure, [refer here](https://github.com/google-github-actions/auth#setting-up-workload-identity-federation).
+
+> Replace `<service_account>` with configured service account in workload identity provider which has access to push to GCR
+
+#### Service account based authentication
+
 Use a service account with the ability to push to GCR and [configure access control](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/access-control).
 Then create and download the JSON key for this service account and save content of `.json` file
