 # scaffold
 
 ## Intro
+
 Use scaffold to setup a new project with a directory skeleton of your design, and if you'd like, it can also automatically initialize local, remote and gitea git repositories for the new project.
 
-## Git
-
-Git is available to be used as the version control system for new projects. Select/Deselect within the `scaffold-<PROJECTTYPE>.toml` file.
-
-***Please Note** that if you also use it for your configuration files and sample directories, then a .gitignore file within your sample directory will interfere with git's ability to track your skeletons/templates properly. So, to allow for this, put what you normally would in a .gitignore file into a GITIGNORE file in your sample directory. And scaffold will convert it to a .gitignore file within your newProject directory.
-
-If you are NOT using git to track your project types and samples/skeletons/templates, then no problem, just place a .gitignore file within the sample directory as you would any other file.
