# GitHub Action

If you want an easy way to test your repository spelling (or a subset of files)
you can use the Typos Action! It is served from this repository, and can
easily be used as follows:

```yaml
name: Test GitHub Action
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  run:
    name: Spell Check with Typos
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout Actions Repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - name: Check spelling of file.txt
      uses: crate-ci/typos@v1.28.4
      with:
        files: ./file.txt

    - name: Use custom config file
      uses: crate-ci/typos@v1.28.4
      with:
        files: ./file.txt
        config: ./myconfig.toml

    - name: Ignore implicit configuration file
      uses: crate-ci/typos@v1.28.4
      with:
        files: ./file.txt
        isolated: true

    - name: Writes changes in the local checkout
      uses: crate-ci/typos@v1.28.4
      with:
        write_changes: true
```

`write_changes`: doesn't commit or push anything to the branch. It only writes the changes locally
to disk, and this can be combined with other actions, for instance that will [submit code
suggestions based on that local diff](https://github.com/getsentry/action-git-diff-suggestions).
