+#### Workspaces
+
+All the usual workspace options should work with Clippy. For example the following command

+
+```terminal
+cargo clippy -p example
+```

+If you want to run Clippy **only** on the given crate, use the `--no-deps` option like this:
+
+```terminal
+cargo clippy -p example -- --no-deps 
+```
