-### About Sonar GitLab plugin
-
-The [Sonar GitLab plugin](https://github.com/gabrie-allaigre/sonar-gitlab-plugin) uses the GitLab APIs to inline comments
-into your commits directly in GitLab for each new anomaly.
-
-As explained above, this template automatically enables the Sonar GitLab plugin if `SONAR_GITLAB_TOKEN` is set.
-It will then simply append the `SONAR_GITLAB_ARGS` (overridable) to the SonarQube analysis arguments.
-
-Comments added to GitLab will appear as owned by the user associated to the GitLab [access token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html).

 ### Configuring SonarQube project key, project name and other parameters
 
 You shall define your SonarQube project key and project name in a `sonar-project.properties` file located at the root of your repository (as respectively `sonar.projectKey` and `sonar.projectName` entries), although they might alternately be set as `$SONAR_PROJECT_KEY` and `$SONAR_PROJECT_NAME` variables.
