 ## Verifying cross repo changes
 You can use the Universe repo to preemptively verify and prepare follow ups for your breaking changes:
 - Clone the Universe repo https://github.com/aspnet/Universe 
-- Add a branch attribute to the build\Repositories.props file to point to your branch in the repo you’re trying to verify. For instance,
-  `<Repository Include="HtmlAbstractions" Commit="" />`
-  becomes
-  `<Repository Include="HtmlAbstractions" Commit="" Branch=”prkrishn/breaking-changes” />`
-- Run from the root of Universe, 
-  `build.cmd /p:CompileOnly=true /p:ShallowClone=true /p:BuildGraphOf=HtmlAbstractions`
-  This should clone and compile all the repos against your breaking changes branch. If you’d like to additionally run tests in all your dependencies (this will take a while), remove the first parameter: 
-  `build.cmd /p:ShallowClone=true /p:BuildGraphOf=HtmlAbstractions`
-  The ShallowClone property speeds up git clone and is optional in both cases.
