Add --no-deps option to avoid running on path dependencies in workspaces

README.md

@@ -82,6 +82,22 @@ Note that this is still experimental and only supported on the nightly channel:
 cargo clippy --fix -Z unstable-options
 ```
 
+#### Workspaces
+
+All the usual workspace options should work with Clippy. For example the following command
+will run Clippy on the `example` crate:
+
+```terminal
+cargo clippy -p example
+```
+
+As with `cargo check`, this includes dependencies that are members of the workspace, like path dependencies.
+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 
+```
+
 ### Running Clippy from the command line without installing it
 
 To have cargo compile your crate with Clippy without Clippy installation
