-## Syncing changes between Clippy and [`rust-lang/rust`]
-
-Clippy currently gets built with a pinned nightly version.
-
-In the `rust-lang/rust` repository, where rustc resides, there's a copy of Clippy
-that compiler hackers modify from time to time to adapt to changes in the unstable
-API of the compiler.
-
-We need to sync these changes back to this repository periodically, and the changes
-made to this repository in the meantime also need to be synced to the `rust-lang/rust` repository.
-
-To avoid flooding the `rust-lang/rust` PR queue, this two-way sync process is done
-in a bi-weekly basis if there's no urgent changes. This is done starting on the day of
-the Rust stable release and then every other week. That way we guarantee that we keep
-this repo up to date with the latest compiler API, and every feature in Clippy is available
-for 2 weeks in nightly, before it can get to beta. For reference, the first sync
-following this cadence was performed the 2020-08-27.
-
-This process is described in detail in the following sections. For general information
-about `subtree`s in the Rust repository see [Rust's `CONTRIBUTING.md`][subtree].
-
-### Patching git-subtree to work with big repos
-
-Currently, there's a bug in `git-subtree` that prevents it from working properly
-with the [`rust-lang/rust`] repo. There's an open PR to fix that, but it's stale.
-Before continuing with the following steps, we need to manually apply that fix to
-our local copy of `git-subtree`.
-
-You can get the patched version of `git-subtree` from [here][gitgitgadget-pr].
-Put this file under `/usr/lib/git-core` (taking a backup of the previous file)
-and make sure it has the proper permissions:
-
-```bash
-sudo cp --backup /path/to/patched/git-subtree.sh /usr/lib/git-core/git-subtree
-sudo chmod --reference=/usr/lib/git-core/git-subtree~ /usr/lib/git-core/git-subtree
-sudo chown --reference=/usr/lib/git-core/git-subtree~ /usr/lib/git-core/git-subtree
-```
-
-_Note:_ The first time running `git subtree push` a cache has to be built. This
-involves going through the complete Clippy history once. For this you have to
-increase the stack limit though, which you can do with `ulimit -s 60000`.
-Make sure to run the `ulimit` command from the same session you call git subtree.
-
-_Note:_ If you are a Debian user, `dash` is the shell used by default for scripts instead of `sh`.
-This shell has a hardcoded recursion limit set to 1000. In order to make this process work,
-you need to force the script to run `bash` instead. You can do this by editing the first
-line of the `git-subtree` script and changing `sh` to `bash`.
-
-### Performing the sync from [`rust-lang/rust`] to Clippy
-
-Here is a TL;DR version of the sync process (all of the following commands have
-to be run inside the `rust` directory):
-
-1. Clone the [`rust-lang/rust`] repository or make sure it is up to date.
-2. Checkout the commit from the latest available nightly. You can get it using `rustup check`.
-3. Sync the changes to the rust-copy of Clippy to your Clippy fork:
-    ```bash
-    # Make sure to change `your-github-name` to your github name in the following command. Also be
-    # sure to either use a net-new branch, e.g. `sync-from-rust`, or delete the branch beforehand
-    # because changes cannot be fast forwarded
-    git subtree push -P src/tools/clippy [email protected]:your-github-name/rust-clippy sync-from-rust
-    ```
-
-    _Note:_ This will directly push to the remote repository. You can also push
-    to your local copy by replacing the remote address with `/path/to/rust-clippy`
-    directory.
-
-    _Note:_ Most of the time you have to create a merge commit in the
-    `rust-clippy` repo (this has to be done in the Clippy repo, not in the
-    rust-copy of Clippy):
-    ```bash
-    git fetch origin && git fetch upstream
-    git checkout sync-from-rust
-    git merge upstream/master
-    ```
-4. Open a PR to `rust-lang/rust-clippy` and wait for it to get merged (to
-   accelerate the process ping the `@rust-lang/clippy` team in your PR and/or
-   ~~annoy~~ ask them in the [Zulip] stream.)
-
-### Performing the sync from Clippy to [`rust-lang/rust`]
-
-All of the following commands have to be run inside the `rust` directory.
-
-1. Make sure Clippy itself is up-to-date by following the steps outlined in the previous
-section if necessary.
-
-2. Sync the `rust-lang/rust-clippy` master to the rust-copy of Clippy:
-    ```bash
-    git checkout -b sync-from-clippy
-    git subtree pull -P src/tools/clippy https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy master
-    ```
-3. Open a PR to [`rust-lang/rust`]
-
-### Defining remotes
-
-You may want to define remotes, so you don't have to type out the remote
-addresses on every sync. You can do this with the following commands (these
-commands still have to be run inside the `rust` directory):
-
-```bash
-# Set clippy-upstream remote for pulls
-$ git remote add clippy-upstream https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy
-# Make sure to not push to the upstream repo
-$ git remote set-url --push clippy-upstream DISABLED
-# Set clippy-origin remote to your fork for pushes
-$ git remote add clippy-origin [email protected]:your-github-name/rust-clippy
-# Set a local remote
-$ git remote add clippy-local /path/to/rust-clippy
-```
-
-You can then sync with the remote names from above, e.g.:
-
-```bash
-$ git subtree push -P src/tools/clippy clippy-local sync-from-rust
-```

+A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your
+[Rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust) code.
+
+[There are over 500 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, suspicious, style, complexity, perf) | **warn/deny** |
+| `clippy::correctness` | code that is outright wrong or useless                                              | **deny**      |

+| `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::style`       | code that should be written in a more idiomatic way                                 | **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         |                                   | allow         |
+
+More to come, please [file an
+issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues) if you have ideas!
+
+The [lint list](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html) also
+contains "restriction lints", which are for things which are usually not
+considered "bad", but may be useful to turn on in specific cases. These should
+be used very selectively, if at all.
