-## Quickstart
-
-- Make your own fork of the pyslim repo on [GitHub](http://github.com/tskit-dev/pyslim)
-- Clone your fork into a local directory:
+Run the tests with:
 
 ```bash
-git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB/pyslim.git
+uv run pytest
 ```
-
-- Install the development requirements using
-  ``python3 -m pip install -e ".[dev]"``.
-- Run the tests to ensure everything has worked: ``python3 -m pytest tests``. These should
-  all pass.
-- Make your changes in a local branch, and open a pull request on GitHub when you
-  are ready. Please make sure that (a) the tests pass before you open the pull request; and
-  (b) your code passes PEP8 checks before opening the pull request.
