 Entry points to be aware of are:
 
-- [`packages/create-svelte`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/create-svelte) - code that's run when you create a new project with `npx sv create`
 - [`packages/package`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/package) - for the `svelte-package` command
 - [`packages/kit/src/core`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/kit/src/core) - code that's called at dev/build-time
 - [`packages/kit/src/core/sync`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/kit/src/core/sync) - for `svelte-kit sync`, which regenerates routing info and type definitions

-# create-svelte
-
-Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by [`create-svelte`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/create-svelte);
-
-## Creating a project
-
-If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
-
-```sh
-# create a new project in the current directory
-npm init svelte
-
-# create a new project in my-app
-npm init svelte my-app
-```
-
-## Developing
-
-Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
-
-```sh
-npm run dev
-
-# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
-npm run dev -- --open
-```
-
-## Building
-
-Before creating a production version of your app, install an [adapter](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapters) for your target environment. Then:
-
-```sh
-npm run build
-```
-
-> You can preview the built app with `npm run preview`, regardless of whether you installed an adapter. This should _not_ be used to serve your app in production.
