-# Contributing to PostgREST
-
-**First:** if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or
-submit the issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at
-for giving your best effort. The worst that can happen is that
-you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any
-sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the
-way of that.
-
-However, for those individuals who want a bit more guidance on the
-best way to contribute to the project, read on. This document will
-cover what we're looking for. By addressing all the points we're
-looking for, it raises the chances we can quickly merge or address
-your contributions.

-## Issues
-
-For questions on how to use PostgREST, please use
-[GitHub discussions](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/discussions).
-
-### Reporting an Issue
-
-* Make sure you test against the latest [stable release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/latest)
-  and also against the latest [nightly release](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/releases/tag/nightly).
-  It is possible we already fixed the bug you're experiencing.
-
-* Provide steps to reproduce the issue, including your OS version and
-  the specific database schema that you are using.
-
-* Please include SQL logs for issues involving runtime problems. To obtain logs first
-  [enable logging all statements](http://www.microhowto.info/howto/log_all_queries_to_a_postgresql_server.html),
-  then [find your logs](http://blog.endpoint.com/2014/11/dear-postgresql-where-are-my-logs.html).
-
-* If your database schema has changed while the PostgREST server is running,
-  [send the server a `SIGUSR1` signal](http://postgrest.org/en/latest/admin.html#schema-reloading) or restart it to ensure the schema cache
-  is not stale. This sometimes fixes apparent bugs.
-
-## Code
-
-We have a fully nix-based development environment with many tools for a smooth development workflow available.
-Check the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md) on how to set it up and use it.
-
-### Haskell Conventions
-
-* All contributions must pass the tests before being merged. When
-  you create a pull request your code will automatically be tested.
-
-* All code must also pass [hlint](http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/) and [stylish-haskell](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell)
-  with no warnings. This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers. Continuous integration will check this as well on every
-  pull request. There are useful tools in the nix-shell that help with checking this locally. You can run `postgrest-check` to do this manually but
-  we recommend adding it to `.git/hooks/pre-commit` as `nix-shell --run postgrest-check` to automatically check this before doing a commit.

-### Running Tests

-For instructions on running tests, see the [development docs](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md#testing).
