    Checkr monitors file integrity by creating checksums and verifying them. (by cbunn81)

  • Anywho, checkr is a command-line tool that will scan some files and record checksum digests for each file. Then, you can later check those to see if there have been any changes. By default, an SQLite database is used via SQLAlchemy to store the results, but there is an option to use a flat CSV file instead. I used Typer to structure the command interface and Rich for the progress bar and some other output.

    Typer, build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints.
