Doesn't work?

[DimitriPapadopoulos]

I may be doing something stupid, but this does not seem to be working, codespell does not detect any errors:

 6 Running codespell on '' with the following options...
 7 Check filenames? 'true'
 8 Checking filenames
 9 Check hidden? ''
10 Exclude file ''
11 Skipping 'spelling.txt,LICENSE.OpenSSL'
12 Builtin dictionaries ''
13 Ignore words file ''
14 Ignore words list ''
15 Resulting CLI options  --check-filenames --skip spelling.txt,LICENSE.OpenSSL
16 0
17 Codespell found no problems

After a look at your own .github/workflows/codespell.yml, I added:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

just before:

      - uses: codespell-project/actions-codespell@master

Much better! Perhaps you could add an example to the documentation in README.md.
