+## Mirrors
+
+GHCup allows to use custom mirrors/download-info hosted by yourself or 3rd parties.

+To use a mirror, set the following option in `~/.ghcup/config.yaml`:
+
+```yml
+url-source:
+  # Accepts file/http/https scheme
+  OwnSource: "https://some-url/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml"
+```
+
+See [config.yaml](https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/ghcup-hs/-/blob/master/data/config.yaml)
+for more options.
+
+Alternatively you can do it via a cli switch:
+
+```sh
+ghcup --url-source=https://some-url/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml list
+```
