 # nix-direnv
-A fast, persistent use_nix implementation for direnv
+
+A fast, persistent use_nix implementation for direnv.
+Prominent features:
+
+- significantly faster after the first run by caching nix-shell environment
+- prevents garbage collection of build dependencies by symlinking the resulting
+  shell derivation in the user's `gcroots` (Life is too short to loose your
+  build cache of your project if you are in a plane without internet connection)
+
+## USAGE
+
+```console
+$ git clone https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv $HOME/.nix-direnv
+```
+
+Then source the direnvrc from this repository in your own `.direnvrc`
+
+```bash
+# put this in ~/.direnvrc
+source $HOME/.nix-direnv/direnvrc
+```
