Github actions will automatically run a spell check on all Rmds whenever a pull request to the main branch is filed. See this section about how to customize what checks are run. Depending on your preference, you may find it easier to spell check manually on your local computer before pushing to Github.

It will fail if there are more than 3 spelling errors and you'll need to resolve those before being able to merge your pull request.

Click on the GitHub comment that has the download link to spelling errors that need to be resolved.

Some of these errors may be things that the spell check doesn't recognize for example: ITCR or DaSL. If it's a 'word' the spell check should recognize, you'll need to add this to the dictionary.

Go to the resources/dictionary.txt file. Open the file and add the new 'word' to its appropriate place (the words are in alphabetical order). Then commit the changes to resources/dictionary.txt to your branch and this should make the spell check status check pass.

Running locally

You can run spell check locally by calling the script from the top of the repository (your main git repository directory) in bash:

Rscript scripts/spell-check.R

Ignoring URLs

If you want to write out a URL without having to add it to the spell check dictionary, you can style the URL as inline code by adding single back ticks, and it will be ignored by spell check:

Example:

Visit [`example.com`](https://www.example.com) now.

Visit example.com now.
