Woke

woke is a text file analysis tool that finds non-inclusive language in source code and suggests more inclusive replacements. Its aim is to support a welcoming work environment and a long-term commitment to inclusive language in software projects.

It works like a linter: you run it on your machine or in CI/CD pipelines to catch flagged terms during code review, rather than relying on manual searches. The README explains the name as a reference to awareness of social issues and notes that major technology companies have supported a move toward inclusive terminology. Installation instructions cover local use and CI systems.

woke is written in Go, released under the MIT license and documented at docs.getwoke.tech. It suits engineering teams that want automated checks for terminology as part of their review process.
