 ## The Mechanics
 1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) the [core-v-verif](https://github.com/openhwgroup/core-v-verif) repository
 2. Clone repository: `git clone https://github.com/[your_github_username]/core-v-verif`
 3. Checkout the correct branch reflecting the nature of your contribution.  Nearly all contributions should target a core's _dev_ branch.  Hotfixes can target _master_.
-4. Create your feature branch: `git checkout -b <my_branch>.`<br> Please uniquify your branch name.  See the [Git Cheats](https://github.com/openhwgroup/core-v-verif/blob/master/GitCheats.md) for a useful nominclature.
