PIP-HASH(1)

💅 PIP-HASH(1) 💅

okay so bestie, this one's from the pip manual and it's genuinely so useful, hear me out 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

pip-hash — literally just the description of the pip hash command, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So pip hash computes a hash of a local package archive. That's the whole thing. It takes your archive and gives you a hash of it, slay ✨

And why do you care? Because these hashes can be used with --hash in a requirements file to do repeatable installs. Which is giving security, giving "my install is the same every single time", giving main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

python -m pip hash [options] <file> ...

notice the <file> ... bestie — that's plural-able, you can hand it more than one file 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, --algorithm <algorithm> — the hash algorithm to use. it's one of sha256, sha384, sha512. that's the whole list, no cap 🧚
  • (environment variable: PIP_ALGORITHM) — so you can set it in the env instead of typing the flag, iykyk 🌈

💜 AUTHOR 💜

pip developers — the collective, the icons, the ones who did that 👑

⭐ COPYRIGHT ⭐

The pip developers — yes, same people, they own it, periodt 🫶
