+### How to package Powerlevel10k for distribution?
+
+If you want to package Powerlevel10k, it's best to do it based off releases. In a nutshell, you
+need to download Powerlevel10k tarball, build gitstatusd and compile zsh files.
+
+The following code should work. If it doesn't, please open an issue.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** *Change version to what you want to package. This example doesn't get updated when
+new versions are released.*
+
+```zsh
+curl -fsSLO https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz
+tar -xzf v1.0.0.tar.gz
+cd powerlevel10k-1.0.0
+(
+  cd gitstatus
+  . ./build.info
+  curl -fsSLo                              \
+    deps/libgit2-"$libgit2_version".tar.gz \
+    https://github.com/romkatv/libgit2/archive/"$libgit2_version".tar.gz
+  ./build
+  rm deps/libgit2-*.tar.gz
+)
+for file in *.zsh-theme internal/*.zsh gitstatus/*.zsh gitstatus/install; do
+  zsh -fc "zcompile -R -- $file.zwc $file"
+done
+```
+
+This needs binutils, cmake, gcc, g++, git, GNU make and zsh.
+
+Depending on your workflow, it might be easier to store the URL to the libgit2 tarball in the
+same place where you are going to put the main powerlevel10k tarball URL. You'll need to update both
+URLs at the same time when bumping package version.
+
+Once build completes, *do not delete or move any files*. Package the whole directory as is. Don't
+add it (or any of its subdirectories) to `PATH`.
+
+Note that Powerlevel10k has an embedded version of gitstatus. It must stay that way. The embedded
+gitstatus won't conflict with the standalone version. They can have different versions and can
+coexist within the same Zsh process. Do not attempt to surgically remove gitstatus from
+Powerlevel10k, package the result and then somehow force Powerlevel10k to use a separately packaged
+gitstatus.
