      9 # hash command (winget)
     10 
     11 The **hash** command of the [winget](index.md) tool generates the SHA256 hash for an installer. This command is used if you need to create a [manifest file](../package/manifest.md) for submitting software to the **Microsoft Community Package Manifest Repository** on GitHub. In addition, the **hash** command also supports generating a SHA256 certificate hash for MSIX files.
     12 
     13 ## Usage

     15 `winget hash [--file] <file> [<options>]`

     19 The **hash** sub-command can only run on a local file. To use the **hash** sub-command, download your installer to a known location. Then pass in the file path as an argument to the **hash** sub-command.
