Just add a short workflow YAML file to your repository and optionally pin a version of the action.

The README does not mention a license, so permission terms are unknown.

in plain english

Action-editorconfig-checker is a small tool that helps teams keep their code files consistent. It runs automatically on GitHub whenever someone proposes changes to a project, checking that every file follows a shared set of formatting rules. Think of it as an automated proofreader for things like indentation, spacing, and line endings, catching the little inconsistencies that often slip in when multiple people edit the same codebase. Under the hood, it wraps an existing open-source checker that reads a project's EditorConfig file. That file is a simple list of rules (use spaces, not tabs, end lines a certain way) that lives in the repository root. When a pull request comes in, the action runs the checker against the changed files and flags any that don't match the agreed style. This is most useful for teams where several people commit code regularly. A startup with a handful of engineers, an open-source project with outside contributors, or anyone maintaining a shared codebase can benefit. Instead of reviewing formatting by hand or arguing about tabs versus spaces in code review, the check happens automatically before a change is merged. The tool is straightforward: you add a short configuration file to your repository, pick a version if you don't want the default, and the checker runs on its own. The README doesn't go into detail on advanced options or troubleshooting, but the basic setup is minimal, just a few lines to get consistent formatting checks running on every pull request.
