+Setting up git blame
+--------------------
+
+``git blame`` annotates lines from a file with information about the pull request
+that last modified it.  Sweeping shallow changes (like formatting) can make that
+information less useful, so we keep a list of such changes to be ignored.  To set
+that up in your repository::
+
+    git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs

+Running a code coverage report
+------------------------------
+
+The code is more likely to stay robust if it is tested.
+coverage_ is a library that measures how much of the code is tested.
+To run it::
+
+    invoke coverage
+    open htmlcov/index.html
+
+The HTML will show overall coverage, coverage per file, and even line-by-line coverage.
