I just used «git add -p» to pick and choose which changes to
stage/commit and which not to.  (Specifically, I used «git -c
interactive.diffFilter="perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight"
add -p» in order to have «git add -p» show me wordwise diffs.)  When
that command finished, I reviewed «git diff --word-diff --cached»,
committed it, and reverted the local changes (which were the false
positives, etc; I'd made sure I had no local changes before I applied
all the detected typo fixes).

Yeah, github doesn't provide a UI for this, AFAIK.
