-[![NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@salesforce/plugin-template-sf.svg?label=@salesforce/plugin-template-sf)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@salesforce/plugin-template-sf) [![Downloads/week](https://img.shields.io/npm/dw/@salesforce/plugin-template-sf.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/@salesforce/plugin-template-sf) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-BSD%203--Clause-brightgreen.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/salesforcecli/plugin-template-sf/main/LICENSE.txt)
-
-## Using the template
-
-This repository provides a template for creating a plugin for the Salesforce CLI. To convert this template to a working plugin:
-
-1. Please get in touch with the Platform CLI team. We want to help you develop your plugin.
-2. Generate your plugin:
-
-   ```
-   sf plugins install dev
-   sf dev generate plugin
-
-   git init -b main
-   git add . && git commit -m "chore: initial commit"
-   ```
-
-3. Create your plugin's repo in the salesforcecli github org
-4. When you're ready, replace the contents of this README with the information you want.
-
-## Learn about `sf` plugins
-
-Salesforce CLI plugins are based on the [oclif plugin framework](https://oclif.io/docs/introduction). Read the [plugin developer guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_cli_plugins.meta/sfdx_cli_plugins/cli_plugins_architecture_sf_cli.htm) to learn about Salesforce CLI plugin development.
-
-This repository contains a lot of additional scripts and tools to help with general Salesforce node development and enforce coding standards. You should familiarize yourself with some of the [node developer packages](#tooling) used by Salesforce. There is also a default circleci config using the [release management orb](https://github.com/forcedotcom/npm-release-management-orb) standards.
-
-Additionally, there are some additional tests that the Salesforce CLI will enforce if this plugin is ever bundled with the CLI. These test are included by default under the `posttest` script and it is required to keep these tests active in your plugin if you plan to have it bundled.
-

-
-# Everything past here is only a suggestion as to what should be in your specific plugin's description
-
-This plugin is bundled with the [Salesforce CLI](https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli). For more information on the CLI, read the [getting started guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_intro.htm).
-
-We always recommend using the latest version of these commands bundled with the CLI, however, you can install a specific version or tag if needed.

-    sf api request rest 'limits' --target-org my-org
-  - List all endpoints
-    sf api request rest '/'
-  - Get the response in XML format by specifying the "Accept" HTTP header:
-    sf api request rest 'limits' --target-org my-org --header 'Accept: application/xml'
-  - POST to create an Account object
-    sf api request rest 'sobjects/account' --body "{\"Name\" : \"Account from REST API\",\"ShippingCity\" : \"Boise\"}" --method POST
-  - or with a file 'info.json' containing
