spellcheck-github-actions VS docker-cheatset

Docker image updated to Python 3.12.1 slim via PR #177 from Dependabot. Release notes for Python 3.12.1

Today I have released version 0.35.0 of the GitHub Action for doing spelling checking of your documentation etc. for which I am the current maintainer.

GitHub Actions are convenience for packaging tooling for execution on the GitHub platform or using a local runner etc. As you can see on the GitHub Marketplace this mean that a lot of actions are wrapping of common and useful tools to adapt to the GitHub toolbox and toolchain. The same goes for GitHub Spellcheck Actions, it is an implementation based on PySpelling a nifty tool to do spelling checks on Python, Markdown, Text files etc.

The release is just a maintenance release with no significant changes, one could ask why I would even write about a maintenance release and I can see that I did not write about when I released 0.28.0, which was also just a maintenance release.

Finally I got around to pushing release 0.27.0 of the GitHub Spellcheck Action, it has been in my TODO pipeline for way too long.

The 0.15.0 and 0.16.0 versions are announced to be sunsetted.

Feedback and questions about this new feature is of course welcome, here as well as in the Discussions section in the GitHub repository.

I am the current maintainer of a GitHub Action for checking spelling in files in a GitHub repository. The action "GitHub Spellcheck Action" (rojopolis/spellcheck-github-actions) has grown in popularity and is used in several GitHub repositories, meaning that changes to the software and it's availability has become significant factors in it's life cycle. At the same time, it is based on open and free infrastructure and maintenance, so I decided it was time to introduce a sunset policy.

So to recap, it looked as follows for 0.8.0, not the slim version, by severity:

I started with looking at docker-cheatset, which is a Docker edition of the cheatset Ruby command for all of us, who do not maintain a Ruby tool chain, but still want to create cheat sheets etc. for Zeal or Dash.app.
