codespell: Skip files with names that match the specified pattern (accepts a comma-separated list of patterns using wildcards).
$ codespell --skip "${pattern}"
try on your machine

The command "codespell --skip "${pattern}" is used to run the codespell tool with a specific skip pattern.

  1. "codespell" refers to the name of the tool or program being executed.

  2. "--skip" is a flag or option used by the codespell tool to specify certain patterns or paths to skip during the spell checking process.

  3. "${pattern}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual pattern or path you want to skip. It could be a file or directory pattern, such as "*.txt" to skip checking all text files, or "path/to/skip" to skip a specific directory.

By using this command, you can run the codespell tool and define a skip pattern, allowing you to exclude certain files or directories from being checked for spelling mistakes.
