I’ve just finished a modular Python project I’m really excited about — a SHA-256 File Hasher & Duplicate Finder. This tool is designed to help developers, sysadmins, or anyone dealing with lots of files to quickly detect duplicates and manage storage efficiently.
It’s fully object-oriented and comes with a clean API, making it easy to integrate into other Python projects or use as a standalone tool. Whether you’re scanning a single file or an entire folder recursively, it computes SHA-256 hashes efficiently and keeps track of duplicates for you.
I built this to be lightweight, reliable, and zero-dependency, so you don’t need to install any extra packages. It’s a great example of combining practical Python scripting with clean software design — something that’s useful, shareable, and a nice addition to your GitHub portfolio.
If you’re learning Python, building projects, or just want to tinker with file management tools, this project is perfect to explore, experiment with, and contribute to.
I’m also growing a Python & dev community on Discord where beginners and experienced programmers can hang out, share projects, get help, and collaborate. I’d love for you to join — whether you want to test the tool, discuss Python, or just meet like-minded devs.
Join here: https://discord.gg/cBuEjejr
If you have ideas for improvements, want to contribute, or just want to chat about Python projects, this is the place! Let’s make it a friendly, active community for learning, sharing, and building cool things together.

Can’t wait to see what you all think — and I hope to see you in the Discord server! 🚀
