 Installs [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) on GitHub Actions for the supported platforms: Linux and macOS.
 
 By default it has no nixpkgs configured, you have to set `nix_path`
 by [picking a channel](https://status.nixos.org/)

 # Features
 
 - Quick installation (~4s on Linux, ~20s on macOS)

+- [Self-hosted GitHub runner](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners) support
 - Allows specifying Nix installation URL via `install_url` (the oldest supported Nix version is 2.3.5)
-- Allows specifying extra Nix configration options via `extra_nix_config`
+- Allows specifying extra Nix configuration options via `extra_nix_config`
 - Allows specifying `$NIX_PATH` and channels via `nix_path`
 - Share `/nix/store` between builds using [cachix-action](https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action) for simple binary cache setup to speed up your builds and share binaries with your team
-- Enables `flakes` and `nix-command` experimental features by default (to disable, set ``experimental-features`` via ``extra_nix_config``)
