-# Adding a New Dependency
-
-Minikube uses `dep` to manage vendored dependencies.
-
-See the `dep` [documentation](https://golang.github.io/dep/docs/introduction.html) for installation and usage instructions.
-
-If you are introducing a large dependency change, please commit the vendor/ directory changes separately.
-This makes review easier in GitHub.
