 ### CI Status on Pull Requests
 If set up correctly, every time you receive a Pull Request, [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) will build that Pull Request just like it would every time you make a new commit. Read more about how to [get started with Travis CI](http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/getting-started/).
