convert between hash formats

Warning
This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Synopsis

nix hash convert [option…] hashes…

Examples

Convert a hash to nix32 (a base-32 encoding with a Nix-specific character set).

$ nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to nix32 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
vw46m23bizj4n8afrc0fj19wrp7mj3c0

Convert a hash to the sri format that includes an algorithm specification:

# 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:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=
error: input hash 'ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=' does not have the expected format '--from nix32'

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

Description

nix hash convert converts hashes from one encoding to another.

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.
--to hash-format
Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri). Default: sri.

Logging-related options

--debug
Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.
--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.
--verbose / -v
Increase the logging verbosity level.

Miscellaneous global options

--help

--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Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.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
