✨ NAME ✨

pip3-hash — the whole vibe of the pip3 hash command, explained bestie to bestie 💖

(this is a page from the pip manual, section 1, and yes we're gonna hold your hand through every single flag 🫶)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've got a local package archive sitting there and you want its hash. That's it. That's the whole job. pip3-hash computes a hash of a local package archive. 🔥

And why do we care, you ask? Because these hashes can be used with --hash in a requirements file so your installs are repeatable. Repeatable installs are the moment, no cap. Same hashes, same packages, every single time. 💅

🦋 USAGE 🦋

python -m pip hash [options] <file> ...
lowkey just hand it one or more files and it does the thing ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -a, --algorithm <algorithm> — the hash algorithm to use: one of sha256, sha384, sha512. Pick your fighter, bestie 👑 (environment variable: PIP_ALGORITHM)
