Creating an inclusive work environment is imperative to a healthy, supportive, and productive culture, and an environment where everyone feels welcome and included.

woke is a text file analysis tool that finds places within your source code that contain non-inclusive language and suggests replacing them with more inclusive alternatives.

Companies like GitHub, Twitter, and Apple are actively supporting a move to inclusive language.

Why is this named woke?

When I started writing woke in August 2020, my goal was to build a tool that would shed light on non-inclusive language in source code and that would enable a long-term commitment to using inclusive language.

woke is a reference to an awareness of social and political issues, especially racial prejudice and discrimination, and has a historic use within the African-American community. This tool aims to push this kind of awareness even further into the software development community.

I named this project woke because I saw it as a tool to awaken our code to non-inclusive language.

You can read more about the origins and history of the word on Wikipedia.
