+= Basilisp Integration with CIDER
+https://github.com/basilisp-lang/basilisp[basilisp]
+
+== Overview
+
+Basilisp aims to enable writing Clojure programs on Python with full Python interoperability. It is highly compatible with Clojure.
+
+To install Basilisp, run:
+
+  $ pip install basilisp
+
+== Usage
+
+There are several ways to connect to Basilisp.
+
+* kbd:[M-x cider-jack-in] and kbd:[M-5 M-x cider-jack-in-universal]
+
+If you have created a `basilisp.edn` project file at your root of your project tree, you can jack in to the project `M-x cider-jack-in`. The `basilisp.edn` is similar to `deps.edn` for clojure-cli projects. It can be left empty just to mark the root of your project.
+
+If you don't have or want a basilisp project file, you can use universal jack in with a numerical argument of 5:
+
+- kbd:[M-5 M-x cider-jack-in-universal], or
+- kbd:[M-5 C-c C-x j u], from within file in clojure-mode
+
+(Note: an alternative to kbd:[M-5] is kbd:[C-u 5])
+
+You can also bind the universal jack-in to Basilisp to a function to use as a shortcut, for example
+
+[source,lisp]
+----
+(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") (lambda ()
+                                (interactive)
+                                (cider-jack-in-universal 5)))
+----
+
+* kbd:[M-x cider-connect]
+
+You can start its bundled nREPL server:
+
+  $ basilisp nrepl-server
+
+and connect to it afterward using `M-x cider-connect`.
+
+To see available options, type `basilisp nrepl-server -h` in a shell prompt.
+
+== Configuration
+
+The jack-in command can be configured via several defcustoms:
+
+* `cider-basilisp-command` (default is `basilisp`).
+
+If Basilisp is installed in a virtual environment, update this to the full path of the `basilisp` executable within that virtual environment.
+
+* `cider-basilisp-parameters` (default is `nrepl-server`).
+
+There at few ways to setup (custom) variables in Emacs
+
+- https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Easy-Customization.html[Examining and Setting Variables]
+
+kbd:[C-h v cider-basilisp-command], and
+kbd:[C-h v cider-basilisp-parameters]
+
+- https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html[Per-Diretory Local Variables]
+
+Uses `.dir-locals.el` to setup per mode variables. This file is typically stored at the root of the project.
+
+For example, to set the path to the basilisp executable within a virtual environment
+
+kbd:[M-x add-dir-local-variable]
+Mode or subdirectory: `clojure-mode`
+Add directory-local variable: `cider-basilisp-command`
+Add cider-basilisp-command with value: `"c:/dev/venvs/312/Scripts/basilisp"`
+
+This should result to updating or creating a `.dir-local.el` file like below
+
+[source,lisp]
+----
+;;; Directory Local Variables            -*- no-byte-compile: t -*-
+;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
+
+((clojure-mode . ((cider-basilisp-command . "c:/dev/venvs/312/Scripts/basilisp"))))
+----
+
+- https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Specifying-File-Variables.html[Specifying File Variables]
+
+It is best to put this in the top of your project's `basilisp.edn` file, and always jack-in from there
+
+For example, setting `cider-basilisp-command` to start basilisp from within a virtual environment
+
+kbd:[M-x add-dir-local-variable]
+Add file-local variable: `cider-basilisp-command`
+Add cider-basilisp-command with value: `"c:/dev/venvs/312/Scripts/basilisp"`
+
+This will result in the following in `basilisp.edn`
+
+[source,clojure]
+----
+;; Local Variables:
+;; cider-basilisp-command: "c:/dev/venvs/312/Scripts/basilisp"
+;; End:
