+# Bender vendor up-to-date
+
+This action runs `bender vendor diff` and checks if all vendored dependencies are up-to-date, i.e. the state of the checked-in dependencies matches their upstream ref with the local patches applied.
+
+## Action usage
+
+Simply add the action to your desired upstream workflow. Optionally specify a bender version using `bender-version` (default: latest). We suggest creating a standalone workflow with appropriate trigger rules for this, for example:
+
+```yaml
+name: bender-vendor-up-to-date
+
+on: [ push, pull_request, workflow_dispatch ]
+
+jobs:
+  bender-vendor-up-to-date:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Check bender vendor up-to-date
+        uses: pulp-platform/pulp-actions/bender-vendor-up-to-date@v2
+        with:
+          bender-version: 0.27.1
+```
