 ## Getting Started
 
 There is a bit of boilerplate code that needs to be set up when creating a new

 are naming our new lint `foo_functions` (lints are generally written in snake
-case), and we don't need type information so it will have an early pass type

-lint you can run `cargo dev new_lint --name=foo_functions --pass=early

+## Defining Our Lint
+To get started, there are two ways to define our lint.
+
+### Standalone
+Command: `cargo dev new_lint --name=foo_functions --pass=early --category=pedantic`
+(category will default to nursery if not provided)
+
+This command will create a new file: `clippy_lints/src/foo_functions.rs`, as well
+as [register the lint](#lint-registration).
+
+### Specific Type
+Command: `cargo dev new_lint --name=foo_functions --type=functions --category=pedantic`
+
+This command will create a new file: `clippy_lints/src/{type}/foo_functions.rs`.
+
+Notice how this command has a `--type` flag instead of `--pass`. Unlike a standalone
+definition, this lint won't be registered, so a pass doesn't apply.
+
+A "type" is just the name of a directory in `clippy_lints/src`, like `functions` in
+the example command. These are groupings of lints with common behaviors, so if your
+lint falls into one, it would be best to add it to that type.
+
+### Tests Location
+Both commands will create a file: `tests/ui/foo_functions.rs`. For cargo lints,
+two project hierarchies (fail/pass) will be created by default under `tests/ui-cargo`.
 
 Next, we'll open up these files and add our lint!
