-# Contributing
-
-Found a typo in the documentation or interested in [fixing a bug](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues)? Then by all means [submit an issue](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues/new) or [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). If this is your first pull request, it may be helpful to read up on the [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/) first.
-
-For help with using the theme or general Jekyll support questions, please use the [Jekyll Talk forums](https://talk.jekyllrb.com/).
-
-Minimal Mistakes has been designed as a base for you to customize and fit your 
-site's unique needs. Please keep this in mind when requesting features and/or 
-submitting pull requests. If it's not something that most people will use, I 
-probably won't consider it. When in doubt ask.
-
-This goes for author sidebar links and "share button" additions -- I have no 
-intention of merging in every possibly option, the essentials are there to get 
-you started :smile:.
