+Welcome to your new Dhall package-set!
+
+Below are instructions for how to edit this file for most use
+cases, so that you don't need to know Dhall to use it.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Most will want to do one or both of these options:
+1. Override/Patch a package's dependency
+2. Add a package not already in the default package set
+
+This file will continue to work whether you use one or both options.
+Instructions for each option are explained below.
+
+### Overriding/Patching a package
+
+Purpose:
+- Change a package's dependency to a newer/older release than the
+    default package set's release
+- Use your own modified version of some dependency that may
+    include new API, changed API, removed API by
+    using your custom git repo of the library rather than
+    the package set's repo
+
+Syntax:
+where `entityName` is one of the following:
+- dependencies
+- repo
+- version
+-------------------------------
+let upstream = --
+in  upstream
+  with packageName.entityName = "new value"
+-------------------------------
+
+Example:
+-------------------------------
+let upstream = --
+in  upstream
+  with halogen.version = "master"
+  with halogen.repo = "https://example.com/path/to/git/repo.git"
+
+  with halogen-vdom.version = "v4.0.0"
+  with halogen-vdom.dependencies = [ "extra-dependency" ] # halogen-vdom.dependencies
+-------------------------------
+
+### Additions
+
+Purpose:
+- Add packages that aren't already included in the default package set
+
+Syntax:
+where `<version>` is:
+- a tag (i.e. "v4.0.0")
+- a branch (i.e. "master")
+- commit hash (i.e. "701f3e44aafb1a6459281714858fadf2c4c2a977")
+-------------------------------
+let upstream = --
+in  upstream
+  with new-package-name =
+    { dependencies =
+       [ "dependency1"
+       , "dependency2"
+       ]
+    , repo =
+       "https://example.com/path/to/git/repo.git"
+    , version =
+        "<version>"
+    }
+-------------------------------
+
+Example:
+-------------------------------
+let upstream = --
+in  upstream
+  with benchotron =
+      { dependencies =
+          [ "arrays"
+          , "exists"
+          , "profunctor"
+          , "strings"

+          , "node-readline"
+          , "datetime"
+          , "now"
+          ]
+      , repo =

+      , version =
