+### Retry SSH connection failures
+
+Use `retry_attempts` to retry transient SSH connection failures, such as `dial tcp ...: i/o timeout`. Retries are disabled by default. Remote command failures are not retried.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Retry transient SSH connection failures
+  uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v1
+  with:
+    host: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
+    username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
+    key: ${{ secrets.KEY }}
+    retry_attempts: 3
+    retry_delay: 5s
