 # hashgood
 # hashgood

-A CLI tool for easily verifying a downloaded file's checksum.
-
-Wouldn't it be nice if your computer compared the hash for you?
-

-![](img/maybe.png)

 
 

-Read the MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 hash from:
-
-* Command line argument
-* SHASUMS-style check files (`-c`)
-* Raw hash in a file/STDIN (`-c`)
-* The clipboard (`-p`)
+A CLI tool for easily verifying a downloaded file's checksum.

 
 

-...or just run `hashgood` against the input and receive all three at once.
+For user documentation, pre-built binaries, and more information about the project's goals, please visit the [website](https://octet-stream.net/p/hashgood/).

 
 

-This program arose from dissatisfaction with the [workarounds required for traditional tools](https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2019/05/05/techniques-for-verifying-shasums-conveniently.html).
+## Build or Install from Source

 
 

-## Installing
+`hashgood` is a standard Rust binary project that can be built with `cargo build --release`.

 
 

-If you have a working Rust toolchain you can install `hashgood` from crates.io:
+If you are a developer with a Rust toolchain it is possible to build and install `hashgood` directly from crates.io:

 
 ```
 cargo install hashgood
 ```
 
 ```
 cargo install hashgood
 ```

-
-Pre-compiled binaries for common platforms can be downloaded [from the releases page](https://github.com/thombles/hashgood/releases). Otherwise you can build it yourself; see the next section.
-
-## Compiling
-
-`hashgood` targets stable Rust. With a Rust toolchain installed, clone the repository and run:
-
-```
-cargo build --release
-```
-
-Take the compiled executable from `target/release/hashgood`.
-
-To include support for pasting from the clipboard with `-p`, specify the extra feature. Note that on Linux this requires several extra libraries: `libxcb1-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-render0-dev`
-
-```
-cargo build --release --features paste
-```
-
-## Goals
-
-* Be forgiving and deliver what the user wants with a minimum of fuss. They just want to check this hash, damnit.
-* Don't let users be tricked - be explicit about checksum types and the sources of those checksums that are being compared.
-* As much cross-platform support as is practical.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-* Scriptability. This is an interactive tool.
-* Support for any unusual scenarios that could compromise smooth operation. (e.g., text mode, uncommon hash types)
-
-## Future ideas
-
-* Nominate a default (downloads) directory and auto-select the most recently created file in that directory as input.
