This GitHub action runs codespell with reviewdog.

It is based on action-misspell from haya14busa. While misspell might be faster, it hasn't been updated for some time and also the word-list is compiled in making it quite unflexible.

Required. Must be in form of github_token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}'. Defaults to ${{ github.token }}

Optional. Report level for reviewdog [info,warning,error]. It's same as -level flag of reviewdog.

Optional. Reporter of reviewdog command [github-pr-check,github-pr-review]. It's same as -reporter flag of reviewdog.

The codespell action can be configured with two files in the main repository:

• .codespell_skip contains one path or pattern per line (paths starting with ./) which will be skipped during the check.
• -codespell_exclude contains source lines which will not be checked.
