### As a rustc replacement (`clippy-driver`)
Clippy can also be used in projects that do not use cargo. To do so, you will need to replace

rustc --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
```
Then, to enable Clippy, you will need to call:
```terminal
clippy-driver --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs
```

### Travis CI
You can add Clippy to Travis CI in the same way you use it locally:
