-## Building
-
-In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.
-
-Clone a copy of the repo:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript.git
-```
-
-Change to the TypeScript directory:
-
-```bash
-cd TypeScript
-```
-
-Install [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) tools and dev dependencies:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g gulp
-npm ci
-```
-
-Use one of the following to build and test:
-
-```
-gulp local             # Build the compiler into built/local.
-gulp clean             # Delete the built compiler.
-gulp LKG               # Replace the last known good with the built one.
-                       # Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
-gulp tests             # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
-gulp runtests          # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
-                       # You can override the specific suite runner used or specify a test for this command.
-                       # Use --tests=<testPath> for a specific test and/or --runner=<runnerName> for a specific suite.
-                       # Valid runners include conformance, compiler, fourslash, project, user, and docker

-                       # works on disk in the tests/cases/user directory, while the docker runner works in containers.
-                       # You'll need to have the docker executable in your system path for the docker runner to work.
