-## Automatic code formatting
-
-We use [`rustfmt`](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt) to enforce a
-consistent code style across the whole `bindgen` code base. This is enforced in
-CI, and your pull requests will get automatically rejected if you don't
-re-format with the latest `rustfmt` before pushing.
-
-You can install the latest version of `rustfmt` with this command:
-
-```
-$ cargo install -f rustfmt
-```
-
-Ensure that `~/.cargo/bin` is on your path.

-$ cargo fmt
-```
-
-The code style is described in the `rustfmt.toml` file in top level of the repo.
