What is .codespellignore file?
To understand what this .codespellignore is, you need to know about CodeSpell.
CodeSpell
Fix common misspellings in text files. It’s designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well. It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like “adn”, but it will not catch “adnasdfasdf”. This also means it shouldn’t generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn’t know about.

So this is one way to setup the codespell. I also read this article — Adding codespell as a pre-commit and CI where it shows an example of Github Action as well.
