Typo CI - Spellcheck Action

Checks for spelling mistakes within code via a GitHub Action

👉 If you'd like to use this Action without having to add any files to your repository, consider the Typo CI GitHub App 👈

Installation

Copy add the following to .github/workflows/spellcheck.yml:

# Add to: .github/workflows/spellcheck.yml
name: Typo CI

on:
  push:
    branches-ignore:
      - master
jobs:
  spellcheck:
    name: Typo CI (GitHub Action)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 4
    if: "!contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[ci skip]')"
    steps:
    - name: TypoCheck
      uses: typoci/spellcheck-action@master
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Configuration

You can tweak how Typo CI analyses your code by adding a .typo-ci.yml file to the root of your repository (You can also add it within your .github folder). Here is a sample file:

# This is a sample .typo-ci.yml file, it's used to configure how Typo CI will behave.
# Add it to the root of your project and push it to github.

# What language dictionaries should it use? By default Typo CI will select 'en' & 'en_GB'
# Currently Typo CI supports:

# en
# en_GB

Dictionaries

Development Languages

To help the spell checker detect words that are valid in the programming world, I've created a collection of language specific dictionaries which are stored in db/dict/contextual.

These are pragmatically generated by analysing open source projects.

Spoken Language Dictionaries

The en, en_GB & pt_BR dictionaries were built from https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist and they are stored in db/dict/imported.

Other languages have been imported via NPM from wooorm/dictionaries.

Testing
