The .alexrc.yml file should allow or deny words per selected file about alex HOT 1 OPEN

It is not possible to allow or deny some words per selected files.

You can allow/deny words from within files if you like, with comments: https://github.com/get-alex/alex#control.

Config files work the other way around:

1. files are found on the file system (for example because you do alex some/folder/example.md.
2. the closest config file is found, if there is one, so that could be some/folder/.alexrc or some/.alexrc or .alexrc or even higher.
3. the contents of that config file could come from anywhere: it could be symlinked, it could be JS that imports some shared rules from node_modules etc

I don’t like the idea of having more globs or file paths inside config files to infinite recurse, and which would prevent sharing config files.

This issue is tracked at unifiedjs/unified-engine#56.

But this allow these words in all files.

Each folder can have its own config file.

Other alternative is using .alexignore file but this will ignore content of whole file and there is also still this issue

I don‘t understand your problems with ignore files. I don’t see why there is an issue there?
