Re: Codespell report for "gawk" (on fossies.org)

Hi,

This is interesting. I was interested and have been tried the command
"codespell" after seeing the post. It seems fossies.org provides some
nice web interface for the command "codespell".

As written in the page, the result is based on a third party command
"codespell" ( https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell ), so you
can locally run the command for the master branch anytime. Actually
this original command has a feature to apply the changes to the source
code base with an option "-w", so one does not have to convert the
results shown in fossies.org to apply the changes, but it seems one
can just run "codespell" in command line with excluded words/files
provided by fossies.org:
https://fossies.org/linux/misc/gawk-5.0.1.tar.xz/codespell_conf.html#excl_words
.
