-## Find the Clippy commit

-The first step is to tag the Clippy commit, that is included in the stable Rust
-release. This commit can be found in the Rust repository.
-
-```bash
-# Assuming the current directory corresponds to the Rust repository
-$ git fetch upstream    # `upstream` is the `rust-lang/rust` remote
-$ git checkout 1.XX.0   # XX should be exchanged with the corresponding version
-$ git submodule update
-$ SHA=$(git submodule status src/tools/clippy | awk '{print $1}')

-## Tag the stable commit

-After finding the Clippy commit, it can be tagged with the release number.
-
-```bash
-# Assuming the current directory corresponds to the Clippy repository
-$ git checkout $SHA
-$ git tag rust-1.XX.0               # XX should be exchanged with the corresponding version
-$ git push upstream master --tags   # `upstream` is the `rust-lang/rust-clippy` remote
