+# Continuous Integration
+
+[Circle CI](https://circleci.com/) is used for continuous integration. Configured via `./.circleci/config.yml`.
+
+##  Run Circle CI locally (requires Docker)
+
+1. [Install the CircleCI local cli](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-cli/#installation)
+2. Validate Circle CI configuration (useful exercise before pushing any changes to the configuration)
+
+```shell
+circleci config validate -c .circleci/config.yml
+```
+
+3. To better mimic the starting point for CI, commit your changes and clone your repository into a clean directory then run CircleCI inside that directory:
+
+```shell
+git clone . /tmp/$(basename $PWD)
+cd /tmp/$(basename $PWD)
+circleci build
+```
+
+Note: Steps related to caching and uploading/storing artifacts will report as failed locally. This is not necessarily a problem, they are designed to fail since the operations are not supported locally by the CircleCI build agent.
