Using Vale To Write Prose

Created at: 28-08-2024

According to GitHub, Vale is a command-line tool that brings code-like linting to prose.

Installation can happen in the following steps:

function install_vale {
    mkdir -p /tmp/vale
    cd /tmp/vale
    curl -L -O https://github.com/errata-ai/vale/releases/download/v3.7.1/vale_3.7.1_Linux_64-bit.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf vale_3.7.1_Linux_64-bit.tar.gz
    sudo mv -f vale /usr/bin/vale
}

sudo install_vale

After that, call:

vale sync

This will look up my dotfiles for vale and install my required styles.
