 Melange includes built-in pipelines to compile go projects. The first one,
 `go/build` gives authors more control on the compiler invocation while
-`go/install` focuses on simplicity.
 
 To get started quickly, we offer two working examples:
 [go-build.yaml](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/melange/blob/main/examples/go-build.yaml)
 and

-## Simple and quick builds with `go/install`
-
-For projects not needing sophisticated interactions with `go build` or control
-over how source is downloaded, `go/install` provides a quick and simple way to
-compile any publicly available go project.
-
-Internally `go/install` is an interface to the `go install` command. It will
-download the source code and dependencies and build them. Any produced binaries
-will be installed into the specified directory.
-
-Here's a sample of a one-shot compilation of an example project:
-
-```yaml
-package:
-  name: hello
-  version: v0.0.1
-  epoch: 0
-  description: "A project that will greet the world infinitely"
-environment:

-pipeline:
-  - uses: go/install
-    with:

-      version: HEAD
-```
