+
+Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
+manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [Hydra](https://hydra.nixos.org/)
+build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
+[nixpkgs-channels](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git) as a remote:
+
+```
+% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
+```
+
+For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
+custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-18.09` for the latest
+release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
+
+```
+% git remote update channels
+% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
+```
+
+For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master`.
+
+[NixOS](https://nixos.org/nixos/) Linux distribution source code is located inside
+`nixos/` folder.
