+# Expectations
+
+In CONTRIBUTING.md, we expect users to have a remote called `origin` that points
+to the `https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud` repository. For releasing, we
+also use a `github` remote, setup to point to the replica repository hosted
+on github at `https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go`
+
+If you don't already have an 'origin' remote from cloning the master repository,
+you can add it:
+
+`git remote add origin https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud`
+
+Add the github remote as well, using the name `github`:
+
+`git remote add github https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go`
