Check for misspelled words

Checking for typos & misspell words

I came across that project client9/misspell on github that aims to: “Correct commonly misspelled English words… quickly.”
So I decided to try it directly for that blog by using a github action.

Implementation

Github action:

name: Go
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    name: Check for misspell
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container: golang:1.15-buster
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - run: |
         GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/client9/misspell/cmd/misspell@v0.3.4
         misspell -error misspell blog/content/posts/*.md         

It worked!

Only gotcha don’t forget the -error flag so it returns an error code that let you know something is wrong.
