+===========================
 
-The `GitHub commits API`_ is used by sending HTTP requests to URLs
-starting with ``http://github.com/api/v2/json/commits/``. Our program
-only lists the latest commits, so the rest of the URL is
-``list/USER/REPOSITORY/BRANCH``, where ``USER``, ``REPOSITORY`` and
-``BRANCH`` are the GitHub user ID, the name of the repository, and the
-name of the branch whose commits are to be listed, respectively.
