+== Running CI tasks locally
+
+Since this pipeline is purely Docker-based, it's easy to:
+
+* Debug what went wrong on your local machine.
+* Test out a a tweak to your `test.sh` script before sending it out.
+* Experiment against a new image before submitting your pull request.
+
+All of these use cases are great reasons to essentially run what the CI server does on your local machine.
+
+IMPORTANT: To do this you must have Docker installed on your machine.
+
+1. `docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-gemfire-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash`
++
+This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-gemfire-github`.
++
+2. `cd spring-data-gemfire-github`
++
+Next, run your tests from inside the container:
++
+3. `./mvnw clean dependency:list test -Dsort` (or whatever profile you need to test out)
+
+Since the container is binding to your source, you can make edits from your IDE and continue to run build jobs.
+
+If you test building the artifact, do this:
+
+1. `docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-gemfire-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash`
++
+This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-gemfire-github`.
++
+2. `cd spring-data-gemfire-github`
++
+Next, try to package everything up from inside the container:
++
+3. `./mvnw -Pci,snapshot -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package`
+
+NOTE: Docker containers can eat up disk space fast! From time to time, run `docker system prune` to clean out old images.

+== Getting Help
-_Spring Data for Pivotal GemFire_ uses Maven as its build system. To compile the project, simply type
-the following Maven command from the root folder:
+Having trouble with Spring Data? We’d love to help!
-[source]
+* Check the
+https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/gemfire/docs/current/reference/html/[reference documentation], and https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/gemfire/docs/current/api/[Javadocs].
+* Learn the Spring basics – Spring Data builds on Spring Framework, check the https://spring.io[spring.io] web-site for a wealth of reference documentation.
+If you are just starting out with Spring, try one of the https://spring.io/guides[guides].
+* If you are upgrading, check out the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/gemfire/docs/current/changelog.txt[changelog] for "`new and noteworthy`" features.
+* Ask a question - we monitor https://stackoverflow.com[stackoverflow.com] for questions tagged with https://stackoverflow.com/tags/spring-data[`spring-data-gemfire`].
+You can also chat with the community on https://gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data[Gitter].
+* Report bugs with Spring Data for Pivotal GemFire at https://jira.spring.io/browse/SGF[jira.spring.io/browse/SGF].
+
+== Reporting Issues
+
+Spring Data uses JIRA as issue tracking system to record bugs and feature requests. If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below:
+
+* Before you log a bug, please search the
+https://jira.spring.io/browse/SGF[issue tracker] to see if someone has already reported the problem.
+* If the issue doesn’t already exist, https://jira.spring.io/browse/SGF[create a new issue].
+* Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know the version of Spring Data that you are using and JVM version.
+* If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use JIRA `{code}…{code}` escapes before and after your text.
+* If possible try to create a test-case or project that replicates the issue. Attach a link to your code or a compressed file containing your code.
+
+== Building from Source
+
+You don’t need to build from source to use Spring Data (binaries in https://repo.spring.io[repo.spring.io]), but if you want to try out the latest and greatest, Spring Data can be easily built with the https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper[maven wrapper].
+You also need JDK 1.8.
+
+[source,bash]
----
-mvn clean install
+ $ ./mvnw clean install

+=== Building reference documentation
-Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to
-https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[sign the Contributor License Agreement]. Signing the contributor’s agreement
-does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions,
-and you will get an author credit if we do. If you forget to do so, you'll be reminded when you submit a pull request.
-Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
+Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.
-= Running CI tasks locally
