-## Gitpod
-
-You can use [Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/) for light development work like:
-
-- Editing the docs
-- Running ESLint, Prettier
-
-For proper development, use GitHub Codespaces.
-
-The config file for Gitpod is `.gitpod.yml` in the root of the repository.
-
-Gitpod gives you 500 free credits each month, which is enough for about 50 hours of work.

-- Use `yarn jest` to run the tests on Gitpod
