 This example shows how to verify a blob, using a bundle that was created by the
 `cosign sign-blob` command.
 
-### Create the artifact to be signed.
-```console
-cd examples/cosign/verify-bundle
-echo something > artifact.txt
-```

 ### Sign the artifact.txt file using cosign
 ```
-cosign sign-blob --bundle=artifact.bundle artifact.txt
+cd examples/cosign/verify-bundle
+cosign sign-blob --bundle=artifact.bundle README.md
 ```
