+### Requirements
+
 To contribute to headscale you would need the lastest version of [Go](https://golang.org)
 and [Buf](https://buf.build)(Protobuf generator).
 
 We recommend using [Nix](https://nixos.org/) to setup a development environment. This can
 be done with `nix develop`, which will install the tools and give you a shell.
 This guarantees that you will have the same dev env as `headscale` maintainers.
 
-PRs and suggestions are welcome.
