 There is a directory for each chapter of the book.
 Each directory contains a `test.py` program you can use with `pytest` to check that you have written the program correctly.
 I have included a short README to describe each exercise.
-If you have problems writing code (or if you would like to support this project!), the book contains details about the skills you need.
+If you have problems writing code, see my book for the skills you need.
 
-The testing step is integral to writing and solving these challenges as well as to the methodology of the book.
-I advocate a "test-driven development" mentality where we write tests _before_ we write code.

 In this project, I've written all the tests for you, but I also encourage you to write your own functions and tests.
 You should run the test suite after every change to your program to ensure you are making progress!

 # Forking GitHub repo
 
-First use the GitHub interface to "fork" this repository into your own account. Then do `git clone` of *your* repository to get a local copy. Inside that checkout, do:
-
-````
-git remote add upstream https://github.com/kyclark/tiny_python_projects.git 
-````
-
-This will allow you to `git pull upstream master` in order to get updates. When you create new files, `git add/commit/push` them to *your* repository. (Please do not create pull requests on *my* repository -- unless, of course, you have suggestions for improving my repo!).
