+#### CI
+
+We use [Circle CI](https://circleci.com) for integration testing. Sometimes
+it can be useful to test and debug the CI build locally, particularly when 
+updating or adding dependencies. You can use their 
+[CLI](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-jobs/) for that, which
+is installed automatically by the `./bin/bootstrap-osx` script. Once you
+have it installed you can run `circleci build` in the repo root to test 
+the build locally.
