 ## Generated project files
 
-To ease maintenance of language- and platform- specific build systems,
-many projects files are generated using templates and should not be edited
-by hand.
-Run `tools/buildgen/generate_projects.sh` to regenerate.
-See [templates](templates) for details.

-As a rule of thumb, if you see the "sanity tests" failing you've most likely edited generated files or you didn't regenerate the projects properly (or your code formatting doesn't match our code style).

 ## Guidelines for Pull Requests
 How to get your contributions merged smoothly and quickly.
  
-- Create **small PRs** that are narrowly focused on **addressing a single concern**. We often times receive PRs that are trying to fix several things at a time, but only one fix is considered acceptable, nothing gets merged and both author's & review's time is wasted. Create more PRs to address different concerns and everyone will be happy.

-- For speculative changes, consider opening an issue and discussing it first. If you are suggesting a behavioral or API change, consider starting with a [gRFC proposal](https://github.com/grpc/proposal).

-- **All tests need to be passing** before your change can be merged.
