misspell is a fast Go-based CLI tool that finds and corrects commonly misspelled English words in source files, with special support for Go source and plain/markdown text. It can report misspellings with file/line/column, overwrite files with corrections, and convert between US and UK spellings.

Use cases

  • fix misspelled words in source files
  • spell check markdown documentation
  • add a spelling linter to CI
  • convert British spellings to American English
  • check spelling in Go source comments
  • batch-correct typos across a repository

When to choose

  • you need a fast, dependency-free spell checker for code and docs
