How do I find out where emacs 24 (OSX) puts my aspell corrections?

Question

I would like to see if it's possible to back them up into github with the rest of my dotfiles.

I searched the config options, but am only seeing the default dictionaries used. I'd like to know where my custom word spelling corrections are being saved at.

I've found that by evaluating ispell-personal-dictionary, I see nil. This means

the spelling program looks for a personal dictionary in a default location.

Check in your home directory, specifically, .aspell.en.prel, and .aspell.en.pws.
