+== Custom Neovim Package
+
+As of v0.5, you may now specify the neovim package that will be wrapped with your configuration. This is done with the `vim.package` option.
+
+[source,nix]
+----
+{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
+ # using the neovim-nightly overlay
+ config.vim.package = inputs.neovim-overlay.packages.${pkgs.system}.neovim;
+}
+----
+
+The neovim-nightly-overlay always exposes an unwrapped package. If using a different source, you are highly recommended to get an "unwrapped" version of the neovim package,similar to `neovim-unwrapped` in nixpkgs.
