About SHA-1 Hash Validator
SHA-1 Hash Validator checks whether a string is a well-formed SHA-1 digest: exactly 40 hexadecimal digits (160 bits). Shape validation, not recomputation.
SHA-1 is still used as the Git commit hash, so validating length/characters is useful before processing a ref hash.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All validation runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
How is this validator different from a parser or formatter?
A validator answers one question: is this input correct/valid? It returns a valid/invalid badge with the reason. A parser breaks input into its components, and a formatter tidies its layout. Use a validator when you just need to confirm something is sound before using it.
