You can enable spellchecking in your editor with which you write the commit messages. For example: https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/using-spell-checking-vim/ Or, you can use my tool: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git/log/?h=vp You'd need to fish it out of the repo. It doesn't completely replace checkpatch yet but I am extending it with features as I go. But it does spellcheck: $ ~/dev/vp/.tip/bin/vp.py ~/tmp/review/new prepratation for adding Secure TSC guest support, carve out APIs to Unknown word [prepratation] in commit message.
