About

Very simple quick hack to check of the go calculation of a SHA256 digest results the same value as the usual CLI commands such as shasum -a 256 or sha256sum.

It is kept in a repository to easily do a retest if required.

Currently, March 2022, the compiled binary outputs the same string as the stanard CLI commands.
