Developer releases git-sha-ready to catch SHA-256 pitfalls

A developer has released git-sha-ready, an open-source tool that checks Git integrations for hidden assumptions about commit object IDs. The tool targets code that appears to work fine but silently assumes the traditional SHA-1 hashes, and would break once repositories move to the newer SHA-256 hashing that Git now supports. The release is being shared in developer communities, with discussion framing it as a practical safeguard for teams preparing their tooling for Git's SHA-256 transition.
Why now: Developers are anticipating Git's shift to SHA-256 and the subtle breakages it could cause in existing integrations.
