-### Cloning?  Use a shallow clone and avoid 400 Mb of history
-
-A **shallow clone** is a good idea because you probably don't need many years of history.
-
-Like this:
-
-    git clone --depth 5 https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts.git
-
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
-
-    python testUpdateHostsFile.py
-
-**Note** if you are using Python 2, you must first install the `mock` library:
-
-    pip install mock
-
-Afterwards, you can follow the instructions above.
