findtypos
findtypos finds typos of a single word. It is primarily useful for developers who want to find typos of their project's name in their codebase.
Install
go install github.com/twpayne/findtypos@latest
Usage
findtypos [-format=github-actions] word [path...]
This will print the filename and line number of minor misspellings of word in each path specified.
Mispellings found include the replacement of a single character, the addition of a single character or the removal of a character, and the transposition of two adjacent characters.
If a path is a directory, it is recursed into. Directories called .git are
ignored, as are non-text files (i.e. files for whose contents
net/http.DetectContentType()
returns a content type that does not begin with text/)
If no paths are specified, then findtypos reads from the standard input.
Example
Given the input file example.txt:
This is an example input file for findtypos. It contains a few typos.
fyndtypos finds a number of minor mis-spellings of a single word, including, for
example, the subsitution of a single letter, or the insertion of a single
letter, like finddtypos.
Running findtypos prints:
$ findtypos findtypos example.txt
example.txt:3:1: fyndtypos
example.txt:5:14: finddtyposIn general, you would run findtypos in the root of your project as a CI step, for example:
findtypos myprojectsweirdname .
