PKGBUILD Update Integrity
This repository contains a simple helper script, update-integrity. Its purpose
is to easily update the sha256 sums in PKGBUILD files. This is helpful if
you're maintaining a PKGBUILD and have bumped a version or updated some sources.
It simply replaces the existing hashes with the output of makepkg -g, first
prompting the user for a review and confirmation. It requires kakoune since we
use kak -f to perform the replacement.
To use the script, simply provide a path to a PKGBUILD or its parent directory
as the argument. If no argument is given, the current working directory is used.
An installation script is provided as a convenience.
Important
You should never pipe an unknown script directly into your shell. Always review it first.

Why Kakoune?
Simply put: I know how to use Kakoune, and I feel comfortable with it. For tasks like this, I feel it's much simpler to just adapt the tooling I'm familiar with. Especially when the operation is to filter and change text, it feels very natural to automate the same editing primitives I use when I edit text manually.
