✨ Name ✨

nix hash convert — convert between hash formats 🦋

---

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

nix hash convert [option…] hashes…

---

💖 Examples 💖

• Convert a hash to nix32 (Nix's variant of Base32 encoding). iconic behaviour, honestly.

$ nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to nix32 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df

• Convert a hash to the sri format that includes an algorithm specification. it's giving certified with provenance 💅

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=

or with an explicit --to format:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to sri 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=

• Assert the input format of the hash. vibe check time — if the hash doesn't match, it WILL call it out 😭

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=
error: input hash 'ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=' has format 'base64', but '--from nix32' was specified

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 1b8m03r63zqhnjf7l5wnldhh7c134ap5vpj0850ymkq1iyzicy5s
sha256-ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=

🫶 Description 🫶

nix hash convert converts hashes from one encoding to another. that's the whole job. glow-up for your hashes, no cap. ✨

---

👑 Options 👑

• --from hash-format — Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri).
• --hash-algo hash-algo — Hash algorithm (blake3, md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512). Can be omitted for SRI hashes, she's flexible like that 💁‍♀️
• --to hash-format — Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri). Default: sri.

💜 Logging-related options 💜

• --debug — Set the logging verbosity level to 'debug'. she's telling you EVERYTHING.
• --log-format format — Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.
• --print-build-logs, -L — Print full build logs on standard error.
• --quiet — Decrease the logging verbosity level. shhh 🤫
• --verbose, -v — Increase the logging verbosity level.

🌈 Miscellaneous global options 🌈

• --help — Show usage information.
• --offline — Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.
• --option name value — Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).
• --refresh — Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.
• --version — Show version information.

Note 📌 See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.
