-Git Installation
-###############################################################################
-
-This would *not* be suitable for app development, but *is* suitable
-for contributing to the framework.
-
-Installation
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Install the latest version of the codebase by
-
-- forking the `codebase  <https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4>`_ to your github account
-- cloning **your** forked repository locally
-
-Setting Up
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-You will want to set up a remote repository alias, so you can synchronize
-your repository with the main one::
-
-    git remote add upstream https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4.git
-
-Copy the provided ``env`` file to ``.env``, and use that for your git-ignored configuration settings,
-
-Copy the provided ``phpunit.xml.dist`` to ``phpunit.xml`` and tailor it as needed,
-if you want custom unit testing for the framework.
-
-Upgrading
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Update your code anytime::
-
-    git checkout develop
-    git pull upstream develop
-    git push origin develop
-
-Merge conflicts may arise when you pull from "upstream".
-You will need to resolve them locally.
-
-Pros
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-- You have the latest version of the codebase (unreleased)
-- You can propose contributions to the framework, by creating a
-  feature branch and submitting a pull request for it to the main repo
-- A pre-commit hook is installed for your repo, that binds it to the
-  coding-standard we use
-
-Cons
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-- You need to resolve merge conflicts when you synch with the repo.
-- You would not use this technique for app development.
-
-Structure
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Folders in your project after set up:
-
-- app, public, system, tests, user_guide_src, writable

-Translations Installation

-Coding Standards Installation
-============================================================
-
-This is bound and installed automatically as part of the
-codebase installation.

-If you wish to use it inside your project too,
-``composer require codeigniter4/translations @beta``
