+A lot of effort has been put into `Faker` to create a useful and handy library.

+If you want to make `Faker` a better, please read the following contribution guide.
 
 # Important
 
-- Please make sure that you run both `gulp` and tests before making a PR.
+- Please make sure that you run `pnpm install`, `pnpm run build` and `pnpm run test` before making a PR to ensure that everything is working from the start.
 
-## Support
+## Good to know
 
-`Faker` relies on [commonJS](http://www.commonjs.org/) standard and supports both node.js and the browsers. Keep this in mind, when modifying and/or extending the sources.
-
-## Automation
-
-- The project is being built by [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) (see [gulpfile](build/gulpfile.js)), destination directory is [build/build](build/build)
-- The documentation is auto-generated, based on [build/src](build/src) markdown sources. If you modify the main [Readme.md](Readme.md) file, the Pull Request will be rejected, since it will be overwritten by the upcoming `gulp` execution
+- The project is being built by [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io) (see [bundle.ts](scripts/bundle.ts))
+- The documentation is running via VitePress.
+  Make sure you **build** the project before running the docs, cause some files depend on `dist`.
+  Use `pnpm run docs:dev` to edit them in live mode.
 - The tests are executing `vitest` against `test/**/*.spec.ts`
 
 ## Architecture
 
-The sources are located in the [lib](lib) directory. All fake data generators are
-divided into namespaces (each namespace being a separate module). Most of the
-generators use the _definitions_, which are just plain JavaScript
-objects/arrays/strings that are separate for each [locale](lib/locales).

 ### TypeScript Support
 
-Types are available via the `@types/faker` package. You must manually link them using a `*.d.ts` file, like so:

+If you want for whatever reason the versions prior to `v6`,

 :::tip Note
-Using the browser is great for experimenting 👍. However, due to all of the strings Faker uses to generate fake data, **Faker is a large package**. It's around `1.57 MB` minified. **Please avoid deploying Faker in your web app.**
