Vale Linter

Offical GitHub Linter

The Vale team has released an official GitHub Action that does Vale linting and would recommend you use that instead
https://github.com/errata-ai/vale-action

What is this?

This is a tool to automatically lint PRs of Markdown files to ensure they follow a vocabulary style guide and uses GitHub Checks API to highlight errors on the line numbers directly on the PR for contextual feedback.

What is Vale?

Vale is a natural language linter that supports plain text, markup (Markdown, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, and HTML), and source code comments. Vale doesn't attempt to offer a one-size-fits-all collection of rules—instead, it strives to make customization as easy as possible. https://github.com/errata-ai/vale

Configuration

After installation create a new file in the default/master branch of your repository at the following location .github/vale-linter.yml

As with all YML files, be careful that line indentations does not catch you out

Example YML

# Configuration of the Vale Linter ProBot tool
# github.com/warrenbuckley/vale-linter

Vale:

  # If this feature is enabled or disabled
  Enabled: true

  Paths:
    # Path to the vale configuration file
    Configuration: "_vale.ini"

    # Path to the folder of Vale docstyles to use/copy
    # NOTE: If you update the styles path in _vale.ini remember to update this path too
    Styles: "vale/DocsStyles/"

  Success: 
    Header: "YAY you done it"
    Message: "The Vale Docs linter did not find any issues WARREN!"
