 We use [changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) to automatize the steps necessary to publish to NPM, create GH releases and a changelog.
 
-- Every time you do work that requires a new release to be published, [add a changesets entry](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/adding-a-changeset.md) by running `npx chageset` and follow the instructions on screen. (changes that do not require a new release - e.g. changing a test file - don’t need a changeset).
+- Every time you do work that requires a new release to be published, [add a changesets entry](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/adding-a-changeset.md) by running `npx changeset` and follow the instructions on screen. (changes that do not require a new release - e.g. changing a test file - don’t need a changeset).
     - When opening a PR without a corresponding changeset the [changesets-bot](https://github.com/apps/changeset-bot) will remind you to do so. It generally makes sense to have one changeset for PR (if the PR changes do not require a new release to be published the bot message can be safely ignored)
 - The [release github workflow](.github/workflows/release.yml) continuosly check if there are new pending changesets in the main branch, if there are it creates a GH PR (`chore(release)` [see example](https://github.com/StackExchange/apca-check/pull/2)) and continue updating it as more changesets are potentially pushed/merged to the main branch.
 - When we are ready to cut a release we need to simply merge the `chore(release)` PR back to main and the release github workflow will take care of publishing the changes to NPM and create a GH release for us. The `chore(release)` PR also give us an opportunity to adjust the automatically generated changelog when necessary (the entry in the changelog file is also what will end up in the GH release notes).
