🎨 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.

Shell Integration

You can also integrate coloursum into your shell, to output colourful checksums by default!

By default, it will search for known checksum commands' presence, and generate shell functions for those which are found.

If this behaviour is not acceptable, or your checksum command is not in the list, you can optionally specify a checksum command as the last argument to coloursum shell-setup to generate a shell function just for it.

bash, zsh, and other similar shells

Add this line to your ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc or equivalent file:

eval "$(coloursum --mode=1password shell-setup)"

fish shell

Add this line to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

status --is-interactive; and coloursum --mode=ecoji shell-setup | source
