 # Dependency Management Plugin
 
-[![Chat on Gitter][1]][2]
-
 A Gradle plugin that provides Maven-like dependency management and exclusions. The
 plugin provides a DSL to configure dependency management directly and by importing
 existing Maven boms. Based on the configured dependency management, the plugin will
 control the versions of your project's direct and transitive dependencies and will honour
 any exclusions declared in the poms of your project's dependencies and any imported boms.
