Is `cargo clippy` a superset of `cargo check`?

Question

I'm trying to build and test my Rust code with a CI, and I'm wondering whether cargo clippy (potentially with options) covers everything that cargo check does. Do I only need to run cargo clippy, or do I need to run both?

clippy itself runs cargo check.

Does this mean it doesn't run **anything** else but `cargo check`? (No.) – Paul-Sebastian Manole Nov 25 '19 at 20:10
