-## 📢 Architectural Redesign 📢
-
-The git gem is undergoing a significant architectural redesign for the upcoming
-v5.0.0 release. The current architecture has several design challenges that make it
-difficult to maintain and evolve. This redesign aims to address these issues by
-introducing a clearer, more robust, and more testable structure.
-
-We have prepared detailed documents outlining the analysis of the current
-architecture and the proposed changes. We encourage our community and contributors to
-review them:
-
-1. [Analysis of the Current Architecture](redesign/1_architecture_existing.md): A
-   breakdown of the existing design and its challenges.
-2. [The Proposed Redesign](redesign/2_architecture_redesign.md): An overview of the
-   new three-layered architecture.
-3. [Implementation Plan](redesign/3_architecture_implementation.md): The step-by-step
-   plan for implementing the redesign.
-
-Your feedback is welcome! Please feel free to open an issue to discuss the proposed
-changes.
-
-> **DON'T PANIC!**
->
-> While this is a major internal refactoring, our goal is to keep the primary public
-API on the main repository object as stable as possible. Most users who rely on
-documented methods like `g.commit`, `g.add`, and `g.status` should find the
-transition to v5.0.0 straightforward.
->
-> The breaking changes will primarily affect users who have been relying on the
-internal g.lib accessor, which will be removed as part of this cleanup. For more
-details, please see the "Impact on Users" section in [the redesign
-document](redesign/2_architecture_redesign.md).

-## 📢 We Now Use RuboCop 📢
-
-To improve code consistency and maintainability, the `ruby-git` project has now
-adopted [RuboCop](https://rubocop.org/) as our static code analyzer and formatter.
-
-This integration is a key part of our ongoing commitment to making `ruby-git` a
-high-quality, stable, and easy-to-contribute-to project. All new contributions will
-be expected to adhere to the style guidelines enforced by our RuboCop configuration.
-
- RuboCop can be run from the project's Rakefile:
-
-```shell
-rake rubocop
-```
-
-RuboCop is also run  as part of the default rake task (by running `rake`) that is run
-in our Continuous Integration workflow.
-
-Going forward, any PRs that have any Robocop offenses will not be merged. In
-certain rare cases, it might be acceptable to disable a  RuboCop check for the most
-limited scope possible.
-
-If you have a problem fixing a  RuboCop offense, don't be afraid to ask a contributor.
-
-## 📢 Default Branch Rename 📢
-
-On June 6th, 2025, the default branch was renamed from 'master' to 'main'.
-
-Instructions for renaming your local or forked branch to match can be found in the
-gist [Default Branch Name
-Change](https://gist.github.com/jcouball/580a10e395f7fdfaaa4297bbe816cc7d).
-
-## 📢 We've Switched to Conventional Commits 📢
-
-To enhance our development workflow, enable automated changelog generation, and pave
-the way for Continuous Delivery, the `ruby-git` project has adopted the [Conventional
-Commits standard](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) for all commit
-messages.
-
-Going forward, all commits to this repository **MUST** adhere to the Conventional
-Commits standard. Commits not adhering to this standard will cause the CI build to
-fail. PRs will not be merged if they include non-conventional commits.
-
-A git pre-commit hook may be installed to validate your conventional commit messages
-before pushing them to GitHub by running `bin/setup` in the project root.
