-Installs [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) in platform agnostic way (supports: Linux/macOS).
+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/)
+or [pin nixpkgs yourself](https://nix.dev/tutorials/towards-reproducibility-pinning-nixpkgs.html).
+
+# Features
+
+- Quick installation (~4s on Linux, ~20s on macOS)
+- Multi-User installation (with sandboxing enabled only on Linux)
+- [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`
+- Allows specifying extra Nix configration options via `extra_nix_config`
+- Allows specifying `$NIX_PATH` and channels via `nix_path`

+## Inputs (specify using `with:`)
+
+- `install_url`: specify URL to install Nix from (useful for testing non-stable releases)

+- `nix_path`: set `NIX_PATH` environment variable, for example `nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable`
+

+## FAQ
+
+### Is it possible to run NixOS tests / Qemu+KVM with GitHub Actions?
+
+[Currently GitHub Actions are not running on Azure instance types that support nested virtualization](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/183#issuecomment-610723516).
+
+### How do I print nixpkgs version with the channel I have configured?
+
+
+```nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).lib.version'```
+
