*** Binary cache
You will want to use the [[https://nix-community.org/#binary-cache][nix-community binary cache]]. Where the
overlay's build artefacts are pushed. See [[https://app.cachix.org/cache/nix-community][here]] for installation
instructions.
*** Install directly from the overlay
The repository is meant to be used as an overlay as is explained
above. Still, for experimental purposes, you might want to install a
package directly from the overlay. For example, you can install
=emacsGit= from a clone of this repository with the following command:
#+begin_src shell
nix-build --expr 'with (import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [ (import ./.) ]; }); emacsGit'
#+end_src
