+${ATTRIBUTE_SIGNATURE}
+
+<p>Allows a local directory to be turned into a Bazel repository. This means that the current
+  repository can define and use targets from anywhere on the filesystem.</p>
+
+<p>This rule creates a Bazel repository by creating a WORKSPACE file and subdirectory containing
+symlinks to the BUILD file and path given.  The build file should create targets relative to the
+path, which can then be bound and used by the current build.
+
+${ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION}
+
+<h4 id="new_local_repository_examples">Examples</h4>
+
+<p>Suppose the current repository is a chat client, rooted at the directory <i>~/chat-app</i>. It
+  would like to use an SSL library which is defined in a different directory: <i>~/ssl</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The user can add a dependency by creating a BUILD file for the SSL library
+(~/chat-app/BUILD.my-ssl) containing:
+
+<pre class="code">
+java_library(
+    name = "openssl",
+    srcs = glob(['ssl/*.java'])
+)
+</pre>
+
+<p>Then they can add the following lines to <i>~/chat-app/WORKSPACE</i>:</p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+new_local_repository(
+    name = "my-ssl",
+    path = "/home/user/ssl",
+    build_file = "BUILD.my-ssl",
+)
+
+bind(
+    name = "openssl",
+    actual = "@my-ssl//my-ssl:openssl",
+)
+</pre>
+
+<p>This will create a @my-ssl repository containing a my-ssl package that contains a symlink to
+/home/user/ssl named ssl (so the BUILD file must refer to paths within /home/user/ssl relative to
+ssl).</p>
+
+<p>See <a href="#bind_examples">Bind</a> for how to use bound targets.</p>
+
+<p>You can also use <code>new_local_repository</code> to include single files, not just
+directories. For example, suppose you had a jar file at /home/username/Downloads/piano.jar. You
+could add just that file to your build by adding the following to your WORKSPACE file:
+
+<pre class="code">
+new_local_repository(
+    name = "piano",
+    path = "/home/username/Downloads/piano.jar",
+    build_file = "BUILD.piano",
+)
+
+bind(
+    name = "music",
+    actual = "@piano//piano:play-music",
+)
+</pre>
+
+<p>And creating the following BUILD file:</p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+java_import(
+    name = "play-music",
+    jars = ["piano.jar"],
+)
+</pre>
+
+Then targets can depend on //external:music to use piano.jar.
