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

Hi!

Thank you for your replies. I intended to use it with git. I usually
use "git add -p -u" or "git add -e" for this kind of automatic
conversion or refactoring. Instead one can directly check and edit a
patch file as well. Actually "codespell" has an interactive mode (with
an option "-i") in which you can choose if each change should be
applied or not. I tried that one, but I felt the codespell's
interactive interface is not as user friendly as that in git.
