Hash files and store the digests next to the files for future comparison.
Running this command will create digest files next to your files so that you can easily check whether the file has changed in the future.
For example, running dgstore on a backup.tar.gz file would create a
backup.tar.gz.sha512 file in the same directory. If that .sha512 digest
file already exists, it will read it, re-hash the file, and compare both hashes
to tell you whether it has changed or not since the digest file was saved.
npm install -g @alphahydrae/dgstore
# Compute and store/check a single file's digest.
dgstore "some-file.txt"
# A directory's imediate files.
dgstore "some-directory/*"
# All files in a directory (recursively).
dgstore "some-directory/**/*"
# Include dot files.
dgstore "some-directory/*" "some-directory/.*"
# Compute and check only, do not create any digest files.
dgstore -w false "some-file.txt"
# Show full SHA-512 digests instead of short prefixes.
