-`backport`
-==========
-
-`backport` is a command to help create backports of PRs. It backports a
-provided PR from main on to a released version.
-
-It will create a backport branch, cherry-pick the PR's merge commit, adjust
-the commit message and then push this back up to your fork's remote.
-
-The default version will read from `docs/config.yml`. You can override this
-using the option `--version`.
-
-The upstream branches will be fetched, using the remote `origin`. This can
-be overridden using `--upstream`, and fetching can be avoided using
-`--no-fetch`.
-
-By default the branch created will be called `backport-$PR-$VERSION`. You
-can override this using the option `--backport-branch`. This branch will
-be created from `--release-branch` which is `release/$(VERSION)`
-by default and will be pulled from `$(UPSTREAM)`.
-
-The merge-commit as determined by the github API will be used as the SHA to
-cherry-pick. You can override this using `--cherry-pick`.
-
-The commit message will be amended to add the `Backport` header.
-`--no-amend-message` can be set to stop this from happening.
-
-If cherry-pick is successful the backported branch will be pushed up to your
-fork using your remote. These will be determined using `git remote -v`. You
-can set your fork name using `--fork-user` and your remote name using
-`--remote`. You can avoid pushing using `--no-push`.
-
-If the push is successful, `xdg-open` will be called to open a backport url.
-You can stop this using `--no-xdg-open`.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-```bash
-go install contrib/backport/backport.go
