advice
Examples
Advice is a file that is inserted raw into GitHub comments (or potentially in the log if the commit results in stale expect items and no unexpected items).
Here are some examples:
- microsoft/terminal
.github/actions/spelling/advice.md
- imazen/imageflow
.github/actions/spell-check/advice.txt
- jsoref/jitsi-videobridge @ e26301eab0a15f2366f5d2b73e2c0cc714007a14
.github/actions/spell-check/advice.txt
<details><summary>If you see a bunch of garbage and it relates to a binary-ish string</summary>
Please add a file path to the `excludes.txt` file instead of just accepting the garbage.
File paths are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can [test](
https://www.regexplanet.com/advanced/perl/) yours before committing to verify it will match your files.
`^` refers to the file's path from the root of the repository, so `^README\.md$` would exclude [README.md](https://github.com/check-spelling-bot/example/blob/master/README.md) (on whichever branch you're using).

advice.md
