+not yet). To give you a concrete example - things like running tests and

+`cider-jack-in-clojurescript` will prompt you about the type of
+ClojureScript to start. Keep in mind that some of the REPLs will
+require some additional setup, before you can make use of them (e.g. you'll
+need to have Node.js installed to be able to start a node REPL).
+
+You can suppress the prompt the REPL to use by setting `cider-default-cljs-repl`.
+Here's an example that will make Nashorn the default:
+
+```el
+(setq cider-default-cljs-repl "Nashorn")
+```
+
+All supported ClojureScript REPLs are stored in
+`cider-cljs-repl-types`. If you need to extend it, you should use
+`cider-register-cljs-repl-type` in your Emacs configuration.
+
+```el
+(cider-register-cljs-repl-type "super-cljs" "(do (...))" optional-requirements-function)
+```
+
+You can also create a ClojureScript REPL with the command
+`cider-create-sibling-cljs-repl` in cases where you already have a
+Clojure REPL running.

+Provided you've configured your project correctly you can simply use

+This will automatically start the shadow-cljs server and connect to it. You'll also
