+== 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 routine 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="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-jpa-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/sh`
++
+This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-jpa-github`.
++
+2. `cd spring-data-jpa-github`
++
+Next, run the tests from inside the container:
++
+3. `./mvnw clean dependency:list test -Dsort -Dbundlor.enabled=false -B` (or with whatever profile you need to test out)
+
+Since the container is binding to your source, you can make edits from your IDE and continue to run build jobs.
+
+If you need to package things up, do this:
+
+1. `docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-data-jpa-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/sh`
++
+This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at `spring-data-jpa-github`.
++
+2. `cd spring-data-jpa-github`
++
+Next, package things from inside the container doing this:
++
+3. `./mvnw clean dependency:list package -Dsort -Dbundlor.enabled=false -B`
+
+NOTE: Docker containers can eat up disk space fast! From time to time, run `docker system prune` to clean out old images.

+= Spring Data JPA image:https://jenkins.spring.io/buildStatus/icon?job=spring-data-jpa%2Fmaster&subject=Build[link=https://jenkins.spring.io/view/SpringData/job/spring-data-jpa/] https://gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data[image:https://badges.gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data.svg[Gitter]]
+
+Spring Data JPA, part of the larger https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] family, makes it easy to easily implement JPA based repositories.
+This module deals with enhanced support for JPA based data access layers.
+It makes it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use data access technologies.
+
+Implementing a data access layer of an application has been cumbersome for quite a while.
+Too much boilerplate code has to be written to execute simple queries as well as perform pagination, and auditing.
+Spring Data JPA aims to significantly improve the implementation of data access layers by reducing the effort to the amount that’s actually needed.
+As a developer you write your repository interfaces, including custom finder methods, and Spring will provide the implementation automatically.
+
+== Features
+
+* Implementation of CRUD methods for JPA Entities
+* Dynamic query generation from query method names
+* Transparent triggering of JPA NamedQueries by query methods
+* Implementation domain base classes providing basic properties
+* Support for transparent auditing (created, last changed)
+* Possibility to integrate custom repository code
+* Easy Spring integration with custom namespace
+
+== Code of Conduct
+
+This project is governed by the link:CODE_OF_CONDUCT.adoc[Spring Code of Conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code of conduct. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.
+
+== Getting Started
+
+Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {
+
+  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);
+
+  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
+}
+
+@Service
+public class MyService {
+
+  private final PersonRepository repository;
+
+  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
+    this.repository = repository;
+  }
+
+  public void doWork() {
+
+    repository.deleteAll();
+
+    Person person = new Person();
+    person.setFirstname("Oliver");
+    person.setLastname("Gierke");
+    repository.save(person);
+
+    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Gierke");
+    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("Oli*");
+ }
+}
+
+@Configuration
+@EnableJpaRepositories("com.acme.repositories")
+class AppConfig {
+
+  @Bean
+  public DataSource dataSource() {
+    return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder().setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.H2).build();
+  }
+
+  @Bean
+  public JpaTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory emf) {
+    return new JpaTransactionManager(emf);
+  }
+
+  @Bean
+  public JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter() {
+    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
+    jpaVendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.H2);
+    jpaVendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
+    return jpaVendorAdapter;
+  }
+
+  @Bean
+  public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
+    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean lemfb = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
+    lemfb.setDataSource(dataSource());
+    lemfb.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter());
+    lemfb.setPackagesToScan("com.acme");
+    return lemfb;
+  }
+}
+----
+
+=== Maven configuration
+
+Add the Maven dependency:
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
+  <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
+  <version>${version}.RELEASE</version>
+</dependency>
+----
+
+If you'd rather like the latest snapshots of the upcoming major version, use our Maven snapshot repository and declare the appropriate dependency version.
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
+  <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
+  <version>${version}.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
+</dependency>
+
+<repository>
+  <id>spring-libs-snapshot</id>
+  <name>Spring Snapshot Repository</name>
+  <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
+</repository>

+
+== Getting Help
+
+Having trouble with Spring Data? We’d love to help!
+
+* Check the
+https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/[reference documentation], and https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/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/jpa/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-jpa`].
+You can also chat with the community on https://gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data[Gitter].
+* Report bugs with Spring Data JPA at https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAJPA[jira.spring.io/browse/DATAJPA].
+
+== 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/DATAJPA[issue tracker] to see if someone has already reported the problem.
+* If the issue doesn’t already exist, https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAJPA[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]
+----
+ $ ./mvnw clean install
+----
+
+If you want to build with the regular `mvn` command, you will need https://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html[Maven v3.5.0 or above].
+
+_Also see link:CONTRIBUTING.adoc[CONTRIBUTING.adoc] if you wish to submit pull requests, and in particular please sign the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor’s Agreement] before your first change, is trivial._
+
+=== Building reference documentation
+
+Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+ $ ./mvnw clean install -Pdistribute
+----
+
+The generated documentation is available from `target/site/reference/html/index.html`.
+
