 ## Branches
 
-**There are two branches related to editing docs**: `master` and a
-`docs` branch. You should always edit documentation on a local branch
-of the `master` branch, and send a PR against `master`.

 ### Images
 
-When you need to add images, try to make them as small as possible
-(e.g. as gifs). Usually images should go in the same directory as the

-exists.

 ## Working using GitHub's file editor
