Versions:
Typos is a source-code spell checker published by Crate-CI that scans codebases for typographical errors in comments, string literals, documentation strings, and embedded text without altering the actual program logic; designed for continuous-integration pipelines, it can be invoked locally via command line or added to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and other automated workflows so every commit and pull request is automatically inspected for spelling mistakes, reducing the risk of embarrassing typos in user-facing messages, API documentation, or configuration files. The tool understands common programming languages out of the box—Rust, Python, JavaScript, Go, C++, Java, Ruby, and more—while offering configurable custom dictionaries and regex-based ignore patterns so project-specific terminology, variable names, or generated output can be excluded from checks. With four released versions culminating in the current 1.44.0 build, Typos provides deterministic output and a machine-readable JSON format that allows IDEs and review dashboards to annotate source lines directly, making correction a one-click task for contributors. Because it operates as a single, statically linked binary, installation is near-instant on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and caching the dictionary between runs keeps incremental checks under a second even for multi-million-line repositories; security-sensitive teams can run it air-gapped because no network calls are required after the initial download. The utility fits into the Developer Tools / Code Quality category, complementing linters and formatters by adding a linguistic validation layer that preserves code style while improving readability and professionalism. Typos is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g., winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
