codespell: Use a custom dictionary file when checking (`--dictionary` can be used multiple times).
$ codespell --dictionary ${filename-txt}
try on your machine

This command is used to spell check the contents of a file using the "codespell" tool. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • codespell: This is the name of the tool or command-line program being executed.

  • --dictionary: This is an option that specifies the dictionary to be used for the spell checking. In this case, ${filename-txt} is being used as a placeholder for the actual filename. It suggests that you replace ${filename-txt} with the name of the dictionary file you want to use. The specific format of this filename depends on the codespell tool you are using.

The overall purpose of this command is to run the codespell tool and specify the dictionary to use for checking the spelling of the contents within a file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
