hasha-cli

hasha-cli is a command‑line utility that computes cryptographic hashes for supplied text or data read from standard input. It accepts a string argument directly on the command line, or can be used in a pipeline where the output of another command is piped into it. The tool supports several common hash algorithms, including MD5, SHA‑1, SHA‑256, and SHA‑512, with SHA‑512 used as the default when no algorithm is specified.

Output can be formatted in different encodings such as hexadecimal, Base64, raw buffer, or binary, with hexadecimal being the default. Users select the desired algorithm and encoding via short flags, making the interface concise for scripting and interactive use. The package is distributed through npm and can be installed globally, allowing it to be invoked from any terminal session.

The utility is intended for developers or system administrators who need a quick way to generate hashes for verification, comparison, or scripting tasks without writing additional code. It is a stable, core CLI component that complements the associated hasha API library.
