 The original version of this project was written for Python 2, but it has since been updated.
 
 **Q:** What dependencies do I need for this project?  
@@ -40,53 +40,9 @@ The rest will be supplied by the autograder.
 This makes it clear to the student what files they are allowed to change.
 
 **Q:** How do I get my own copy of repo to develop on?  
-**A:** They typical answer would be to [fork it](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo).
-However GitHub requires that all forks be public, and we don't want this for class assignments.
-The following section has instructions on making a private copy of this repo.
-
-### Making a Private Pacman Repo
-
-First, make a [new Github repository](https://github.com/new).
-You can name it whatever you want (you can even keep the name `pacman`).
-For this example, we will call our repository `cool-pacman`.
-Make sure to make the repository private and **do not** initialize the repository with a README.
-Private repositories are currently free on GitHub.
-After clicking "Create Repository", the next page should have the link to this new repository.
-For this example, we will use `https://github.com/eriq-augustine/cool-pacman.git`.
-
-Now, clone **this** pacman repo (the one that you are reading this README on):
-```
-git clone https://github.com/linqs/pacman.git
-cd pacman
-```
-If you are a cool kid with [ssh keys](https://help.github.com/en/articles/connecting-to-github-with-ssh), then you can use the ssh endpoint instead of the http endpoint listed above.
-
-If you accidentally already created a pacman fork, then you can just cd into the fork repository you already cloned.
-(Just make sure to delete the fork through the GitHub web interface after you finish these steps.)
-
-Next, we will change the cloned repository's remote url to point to our new repository.
-You can do this via the `git remote set-url` command:
-```
-git remote set-url origin https://github.com/eriq-augustine/cool-pacman.git
-```
-Or, you can just directly edit the `.git/config` file (the url under `[remote "origin"]`).
-
-Finally, you just need to push to your new repository:
-```
-git push
-```
-
-You're all set!
-You now have a private copy of this pacman repo.
-
-#### Pulling Changes from This Repo Into Your Fork
-
-Occasionally, you may need to pull changes/fixes from this repository.
-Doing so is super easy.
-Just do a `git pull` command and specify this repository as an argument:
-```
-git pull https://github.com/linqs/pacman.git
-```
+**A:** Anyone who will be committing solutions should use this template repository to create a **private repository**.
+Directions for that can be found [here](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template).
+For anyone else, you can just [fork it](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo) as you normally would.
