 A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your [Rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust) code.
 
-[There are over 400 lints included in this crate!](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html)
+[There are over 450 lints included in this crate!](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html)
 
 Lints are divided into categories, each with a default [lint level](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/levels.html).
 You can choose how much Clippy is supposed to ~~annoy~~ help you by changing the lint level by category.
 
-Category | Description | Default level
--- | -- | --
-`clippy::all` | all lints that are on by default (correctness, style, complexity, perf) | **warn/deny**
-`clippy::correctness` | code that is outright wrong or very useless | **deny**
-`clippy::style` | code that should be written in a more idiomatic way | **warn**
-`clippy::complexity` | code that does something simple but in a complex way | **warn**
-`clippy::perf` | code that can be written to run faster | **warn**
-`clippy::pedantic` | lints which are rather strict or might have false positives | allow
-`clippy::nursery` | new lints that are still under development | allow
-`clippy::cargo` | lints for the cargo manifest | allow

+Clippy can also be used in projects that do not use cargo. To do so, you will need to replace
+your `rustc` compilation commands with `clippy-driver`. For example, if your project runs:
 
 ```terminal
-cargo run --bin cargo-clippy --manifest-path=path_to_clippys_Cargo.toml
+rustc --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
 ```
 
-*Note:* Be sure that Clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
+Then, to enable Clippy, you will need to call:
+
+```terminal
+clippy-driver --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
+```

+Note that `rustc` will still run, i.e. it will still emit the output files it normally does.

 Note that adding `-D warnings` will cause your build to fail if **any** warnings are found in your code.
 That includes warnings found by rustc (e.g. `dead_code`, etc.). If you want to avoid this and only cause
 an error for Clippy warnings, use `#![deny(clippy::all)]` in your code or `-D clippy::all` on the command
