A practical guide to migrating Git repos to SHA-256

Original: Migrating Git repos to SHA-256 https://exa.y2k.diy/garden/git-sha256/ # Git # Security # OpenSource

A new guide walks through migrating Git repositories from SHA-1 to SHA-256 object hashing, covering how to prepare repos for the transition and what it means for existing histories and workflows. Git has supported SHA-256 repositories experimentally since version 2.29, but adoption has been slow, and the guide is drawing attention among developers following the move away from SHA-1 for security reasons.

Why now: Developers are weighing when and how to adopt SHA-256 hashing as Git's transition away from SHA-1 gains practical guidance.
