Akhanda

Akhanda is a Go program that generates and verifies SHA256 checksums for files in a directory. It supports parallel processing and displays a progress bar while it's working.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/majorsahab/akhanda.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd akhanda
   

3. Build the project:

   go build
   

Usage

Akhanda supports two actions: generate and verify.

Generate checksums

To generate checksums for all files in a directory, use the generate action. By default, Akhanda will process the current directory and save the checksums to a file named checksums.txt.

./akhanda -action=generate -directory=/<path>/<to>/<dir> -checksumFile=<mychecksums_file>

Verify checksums

To verify checksums for all files in a directory, use the verify action. Akhanda will read the checksums from the specified checksum file and compare them to the current checksums of the files in the directory.

./akhanda -action=verify  -checksumFile=<mychecksums_file>
