check spelling action
The check-spelling GitHub action enables you to catch misspellings.
Everyone makes typos. This includes people writing documentation and comments, but it also includes programmers naming variables, functions, apis, classes, and filenames.
Often, programmers will use InitialCapitalization, camelCase,
ALL_CAPS, or IDLCase when naming their things. When they do this, it makes
it much harder for naïve spelling tools to recognize misspellings, and as such,
with a really high false-positive rate, people don't tend to enable spellchecking
at all.
This action's tools are capable of tolerating all of those variations. Specifically, w understands enough about how programmers name things that it can split the above conventions into word-like things for checking against a dictionary.
