ColourSum

🎨 Colourise your checksum output

What is this?

This is a utility into which you can pipe the output from various checksum generators, to get coloured output.

It understands both the BSD "tag" form, as well as the GNU Coreutils/Perl shasum(1) form of checksums, and has been tested with the output from macOS' md5 and shasum, as well as GNU md5sum and sha256sum.

Installation

You'll need Rust installed and ready to go.

cargo install coloursum

Usage

md5sum [file] | coloursum

Coloursum also prints full usage information if you run coloursum --help.
