woke

Since woke scans text files without semantic context, it may flag technical terms like 'master' in git branches or 'slave' in databases, leading to noise and manual review needs.

The tool focuses on English terminology, as evidenced by default rules for terms like 'whitelist/blacklist,' making it less effective for codebases with non-English comments or variables.

Setting up custom rules and exclusions requires editing YAML files and integrating into workflows, which can be complex for teams new to such tools, as implied by separate CI/CD installation docs.

Running woke on extensive text files or in CI pipelines may add processing time, though not explicitly noted, it's a common trade-off for static analysis tools that scan entire codebases.
