Probot App to help you write better on GitHub.

Afterinstalling the GitHub App on your repos, this Probot App listens for changes to Markdown files (.md) or text files (.txt) in pull requests and runs various checks against them to provide feedback on the English. Currently, the app checks for spelling, prose and inclusive verbiage. This is done by leveraging existing open source libraries, which you can findlisted below. Here's how it looks in action:

A non-exhaustive list of the various checks that are run:

• Correct spelling (and provides possible corrections).
• Use of non-inclusive/profane/offensive language.
• Various prose-related checks, find the full listhere.

Visitthe installation page and install the GitHub App on your repositories. That's all there is to it ❤️

There are currently three providers that the app uses to test your text. These can each be disabled, and are all enabled by default. To disable a provider, add a.github/prosebot.yml file to your repository and set the provider tofalse:

# .github/prosebot.ymlwriteGood:truealex:truespellchecker:true
