-This file descibes the intended way to use the template project.
-
-## Concept:
-The project template is merged via git. The idea is to have the whole
-project-template repository merged into the project which uses it, incl.
-all the history. Like this updates and improvements in the template
-scripts can easily be propagated to all client projects by simply
-merging the head of project template.
-
-## Instructions:
-
-### Preparing your project to use the project template
-  -  Add the project template repository as a git remote to your project.
-     This only is done once for each local repository.
-     ```
-     $ git remote add project-template https://github.com/ChimeraTK/project-template.git
-     ```
-     We intentionally use the read-only https version here. Never write
-     to the project template from one of the client projects!
-
-  -  Update the remote on you hard disk so git knows what is in
-     project-template
-     ```
-     $ git remote update
-     ```
-
-  -  Merge the project template master into your project
-     ```
-     $ git merge project-template/master
-     ```
-     
-    Note:you can access the files provided in the cmake directory from your 
-    CMakeLists.txt after appending this location to your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH 
-    variable
-
-### Getting updates to the project template
-  ```
-     $ git remote update
-     $ git merge project-template/master
-
-  ```
-  If you are on a different computer with a different checkout directory which does not have the remote added 
-  (check with 'git remote show'), you may have to repeat steps from the 
-  section: Preparing your project to use the project     template.
- 
-
-### Updating/Improving the project template.
-
-  - Never write to the project template from one of the client projects!  If
-    you have improvements or additions to the project template, check out
-    the project-template repository separately, make the modifications and
-    commit/push them.
-  
-  - Be careful not to break functionality for other project which are using
-    the template!
-  
-  - After the project template is updated you can merge the changes into
-    your project as described in the section above. (Getting updates of project template)
-  
-  - Note: For testing you might want to add your local repository of
-    project-template as a remote to your project, so you don't have to push
-    untested changes. Be careful that everything is pushed to github when
-    you are done in order not to lose consistency of the repositories.
