The input package facts list Homebrew, Nix, and Arch packages. ### How it is used The README documents `cargo spellcheck check`, `cargo spellcheck fix`, shell completions, and CI/CD or commit-hook usage. The configuration page documents explicit config via CLI flags or Cargo.toml metadata, plus implicit project and per-user config files. ### Why package nerds care cargo-spellcheck sits in the Rust tooling niche where documentation quality becomes a build or review concern, so package maintainers can catch spelling and grammar regressions before release. ### Timeline - 2020: GitHub repository created and first crates.io release recorded. - 2026: crates.io records max_version 0.15.7. ### Related projects - The README and repository topics identify hunspell, nlprule, and LanguageTool-style grammar checking as related components. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
