 ## Code Guidelines
 
 ### Ansible Guidelines
 
-* Run `molecule lint` over your code to automatically resolve a lot of `yaml` and Ansible style issues.
-* Run `molecule test` on your code before you submit a PR to catch any potential issues. If you are testing a specific molecule scenario, run `molecule test -s <scenario>`. If you are testing the NGINX Plus scenario (`plus`), you will need to procure an NGINX Plus license (check out the [NGINX Plus developer license FAQ](https://www.nginx.com/developer-license-faqs/) to find out how to request one).
-* Follow these guides on some good practices for Ansible:
-  * <https://www.ansible.com/blog/ansible-best-practices-essentials>
-  * <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_best_practices.html>

 ### Git Guidelines
 
-* Keep a clean, concise and meaningful git commit history on your branch (within reason), rebasing locally and squashing before submitting a PR.
-* Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/> and summarised in the next few points:
-  * In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
-  * In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...").
-  * Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less.
-  * Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line.
-  * Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (`git commit -a` to give you more space and time in your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`).
