+Helix has built-in support for tree-sitter grammars and installations from
+most sources have grammars for common languages (including nu!) built in.
+
+### Using built-in helix grammars
+Version from master branch of helix or any release after (not including) 23.05
+will have this grammar and queries preinstalled. Hovewer due to rapid
+development pace of nushell they might be severly out of date.
+
+### Installing up to date grammar from this repo
+Following [official guide](https://docs.helix-editor.com/languages.html#tree-sitter-grammar-configuration)
+grammar may be updated to track specific revision (or main branch) of this 
+repo. In file `languages.toml` add
+```toml
+[[grammar]]
+name = "nu"
+source = { git = "https://github.com/nushell/tree-sitter-nu", rev = "<revision hash or main>" }
+```
+
+Then downaload and install up-to-date grammar:
+```nu
+hx -g fetch
+hx -g build
+```
+
+These actions only install grammar. Queries are handled
+[separately](https://docs.helix-editor.com/guides/adding_languages.html#queries).
+To install queries copy them from `queries` directory of this repo to
+`runtime/queries/nu` in [configuration directory](https://docs.helix-editor.com/configuration.html)
+of helix (i.e. `~/.config/helix/runtime/queries/nu` on Linux and Mac,
+`%AppData%\helix\runtime\queries\nu` on windows).
+
+> **Warning**  
+> In helix there are several configuration (and thus `runtime`)
+> [directories](https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html#configuring-helixs-runtime-files).
+> One of them is located in the directory with installation of binary and
+> contains queries shipped with pre-built binary. For example when installing
+> on windows with scoop it will be located in `~\scoop\apps\helix\current\runtime\`
+> 
+> Before commit [1077630](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/107763083405868f3679d8e12476ed0688896f87)
+> helix used [different grammar](https://github.com/LhKipp/tree-sitter-nu)
+> which is incompatible with this one and contained some additional queries.
+> These queries will not work correctly with new grammar and helix will error
+> not applying correct queries either.
+>
+> To fix this issue users that are running helix versions 23.05 or older
+> and in generally any users installing queries manually are advised to remove
+> contents of `<helix install dir>/runtime/queries/nu`.
