-<!--
-Thanks for raising a Spring Boot issue. Please take the time to review the following
-categories as some of them do not apply here.
-
-🙅 "Please DO NOT Raise an Issue" Cases
-- Question
-STOP!! Please ask questions about how to use something, or to understand why something isn't
-working as you expect it to, on Stack Overflow using the spring-boot tag.
-- Security Vulnerability
-STOP!! Please don't raise security vulnerabilities here. Head over to https://spring.io/security-policy to learn how to disclose them responsibly.
-- Managed Dependency Upgrade
-You DO NOT need to raise an issue for a managed dependency version upgrade as there's a semi-automatic process for checking managed dependencies for new versions before a release. BUT pull requests for upgrades that are more involved than just a version property change are still most welcome.
-- With an Immediate Pull Request
-An issue will be closed as a duplicate of the immediate pull request, so you don't have to raise an issue if you plan to create a pull request immediately.
-
-🐞 Bug report (please don't include this emoji/text, just add your details)
-Please provide details of the problem, including the version of Spring Boot that you
-are using. If possible, please provide a test case or sample application that reproduces
-the problem. This makes it much easier for us to diagnose the problem and to verify that
-we have fixed it.
-
-🎁 Enhancement (please don't include this emoji/text, just add your details)
-Please start by describing the problem that you are trying to solve. There may already
-be a solution, or there may be a way to solve it that you hadn't considered.
-
-
-TIP: You can always edit your issue if it isn't formatted correctly.

-Thanks for contributing to Spring Boot. Please review the following notes before
-submitting a pull request.
-
-Please submit only genuine pull-requests. Do not use this repository as a GitHub
-playground.
-
-Security Vulnerabilities
-
-STOP! If your contribution fixes a security vulnerability, please do not submit it.
-Instead, please head over to https://spring.io/security-policy to learn how to disclose a
-vulnerability responsibly.
-
-Dependency Upgrades
-
-Please do not open a pull request for a straightforward dependency upgrade (one that
-only updates the version property). We have a semi-automated process for such upgrades
-that we prefer to use. However, if the upgrade is more involved (such as requiring
-changes for removed or deprecated API) your pull request is most welcome.
-
-Describing Your Changes
-
-If, having reviewed the notes above, you're ready to submit your pull request, please
-provide a brief description of the proposed changes. If they fix a bug, please
-describe the broken behaviour and how the changes fix it. If they make an enhancement,
-please describe the new functionality and why you believe it's useful. If your pull
-request relates to any existing issues, please reference them by using the issue number
-prefixed with #.
