 Kobalt already knows the location of the most popular Maven repos (Maven Central, JCenter, JBoss) but you can add repos with the <code>repos()</code> directive:
 </p>
 
-<pre class="brush:java">
-val repos = repos("https://dl.bintray.com/cbeust/maven/")
-</pre>
+<pre>
+val repos = repos("https://dl.bintray.com/cbeust/maven/")</pre>
+<p>
+  By default, this directive takes URL's as strings, but you can also use local
+  files with the <code>files</code> directive:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+val repos = repos(file("/some/local/directory"))</pre>
+<p>
+  The <code>homeDir()</code> directive can also come in handy when you want
+  to specify a directory starting at your home directory:
+</p>
+<pre>
+val repos = repos(file(homeDir("some/directory/in/your/home")))</pre>
+
 <h3 class="section" indent="1" id="maven-repos-authenticated">Authenticated repos</h3>
 <p>
     If one of your repos requires basic authentication, you can supply its credentials
