Motivation: Clang has a page where they list out external examples: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ExternalClangExamples.html. While I was writing an out-of-tree clang-tidy plugin, I wanted such a page to exist also as it would have helped development. The example repo listed in the proposed page has been useful for me.

+=======================
+External Clang-Tidy Examples
+=======================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This page provides examples of what people have done with clang-tidy that 
+might serve as useful guides (or starting points) to develop your own checks. 
+They may be helpful even for necessary things such as how to write CMakeLists.txt 
+for an out-of-tree plugin of clang-tidy checks.
+
+If you know of (or wrote!) a tool or project using clang-tidy, please post on
+`the Discourse forums (Clang Frontend category)
+<https://discourse.llvm.org/c/clang/6>`_ to have it added.
+(or if you are already a clang-tidy contributor, feel free to directly commit
+additions). Since the primary purpose of this page is to provide examples
+that can help developers, generally they must have code available.
+
+As clang-tidy shares C++ AST Matchers with Clang diagnostics, `External Clang Examples`_ 
+may also be useful to look at.
