By the very nature of the rules applied from\n`elvis_core` it can also be considered a learning tool, by trying to generalize good practices and\nallowing teams to adapt it to their own specific needs, while fostering discussions around code\nconventions.\n\n### Advantages of using it\n\nSome of the advantages of using `elvis` are:\n\n- enabling consistency in style across all your code base\n- encouraging the development team to sit down and talk about code conventions\n- allowing continuous monitoring of code quality\n- helping developers avoid repeated mistakes that can be automatically detected\n- providing homogenisation among different projects in a company, therefore facilitating project\nswitching for developers, as well as allowing easier code sharing between projects\n- learning, since some of the conventions it proposes are themselves the distilled result of\nworking in very large code bases\n\n## Installation\n\nTo use `elvis` as a standalone tool, you need to:\n\n```console\ngit clone https://github.com/inaka/elvis\ncd elvis\nrebar3 escriptize\nexport PATH=${PWD}/_build/default/bin:${PATH}\n```\n\n(to make the env. variable export more permanent add it to your shell\u0027s configuration file,\ni.e. `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, ...)\n\nNow run it by calling `elvis` (or `elvis help`), and you should get to the `Usage: elvis`\ninstructions.\n\n### Shell completion\n\nElvis also comes with shell completions.\n\nOptionally, download and install:\n\n- Bash completion from \u003chttp",
