Automatic Spelling Corrections On Github

Posted by timothy on from the wye-wood-enny-wan-wan-thatte? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Github projects may be seeing a different kind of contributor than normal: a small bot is now crawling through projects, contributing spelling corrections. It builds on top of the github API and existing documentation style-checking code. Future directions for the project look beyond spelling mistakes and at automated bug fixing on a large scale."

    I wonder if this bot will do as well as every HR department out there posting "pearl" and "unique admin" positions

    It's not like it can autocommit - the original project owner has to accept the patch.
