Its upstream README emphasizes two package-nerd requirements: it is fast enough for monorepos and has low enough false positives to run on pull requests. ### Project history The crate-ci/typos repository was created in April 2019. The changelog shows the project reached 1.0.0 in May 2021, after earlier 0.x releases, and continued with frequent dictionary and correctness updates into 2026. The official design document explains the central choice that shaped the tool: unlike dictionary-distance spell checkers, typos uses known misspelling corrections to keep automated correction and CI use low-noise. Its source-code focus includes identifier splitting for snake_case, CamelCase, acronyms, hashes, escapes, UUIDs, and other code-shaped text. The README documents a full command-line workflow: plain `typos` for reporting, `typos --write-changes` for automatic fixes, `--diff` for patches, `--format json` for machine-readable output, and `--dump-config`, `--files`, `--identifiers`, and `--words` for debugging. ### Adoption history Official docs present typos as both a standalone binary and an integration target. The README lists pre-built GitHub releases, `cargo install typos-cli --locked`, Homebrew, Conda, and Pacman installation paths, and it links official integration docs for GitHub Actions and pre-commit. The batch input shows broader package-manager coverage across apk, Homebrew, Nix, Pacman, Scoop, and Winget. Upstream release metadata shows v1.48.0 published in June 2026, so the package is actively maintained in the current package-manager ecosystem. ### How it is used In package and CI workflows, typos is used as a repository check that fails on known spelling mistakes while avoiding noisy guesses. Developers can tune false positives in `_typos.toml` or related config files, extend identifiers and words, disable content checking for localized files, and use JSON Lines output for custom integrations. ### Why package nerds care typos-cli is significant because it packages source-code-aware spell checking as a fast, reproducible binary that fits package-manager, pre-commit, and CI habits. For maintainers who care about low-friction quality gates, its value is that it can be installed like any other dev tool and run unattended on large repositories. ### Timeline - 2019: Public GitHub repository created. - 2021: 1.0.0 released. - 2024: Ongoing 1.x release train continued. - 2026: v1.48.0 released with June 2026 dictionary updates. ### Related projects - The official comparison document compares typos with client9/misspell, codespell, scspell3k, and topy. The README also points to editor and CI integrations including GitHub Actions, pre-commit, Visual Studio Code, typos-lsp, and GitLab Code Quality. ### Sources - - - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for typos-cli.
