## Usage
You need to tell RuboCop to load the RSpec extension. There are three
ways to do this:
### RuboCop configuration file
Put this into your `.rubocop.yml`.
plugins: rubocop-rspec
Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.
plugins:
- rubocop-other-extension
- rubocop-rspec
Now you can run `rubocop` and it will automatically load the RuboCop RSpec
cops together with the standard cops.
### Command line
rubocop --plugin rubocop-rspec
### Rake task
RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
task.plugins << 'rubocop-rspec'
end
### Code Climate
rubocop-rspec is available on Code Climate as part of the rubocop engine. [Learn More](https://marketing.codeclimate.com/changelog/55a433bbe30ba00852000fac/).
## Documentation

## The Cops

examples/documentation.
In your `.rubocop.yml`, you may treat the RSpec cops just like any other
cop. For example:

Exclude:
