MatchCode toolkit is a Python library that provides the file and directory fingerprinting functionality for ScanCode toolkit and ScanCode.io by implementing the HaloHash algorithm and using it in ScanCode toolkit and ScanCode.io plugins and pipelines.

MatchCode toolkit must be installed in the same environment as ScanCode toolkit or ScanCode.io.

From PyPI:

pip install matchcode-toolkit

A checkout of this repo can also be installed into an environment using pip's --editable option,

# Activate the virtual environment you want to install MatchCode-toolkit into,
# change directories to the ``matchcode-toolkit`` directory
pip install --editable .

or built into a wheel and then installed:

python setup.py build bdist_wheel
pip install matchcode_toolkit-*-py3-none-any.whl

MatchCode toolkit provides the --fingerprint option for ScanCode toolkit. This is a scan plugin that adds the fields directory_content_fingerprint, directory_structure_fingerprint, and halo1 to Resources and computes those values.

scancode --info --fingerprint <scan target location> --json-pp <output location>

MatchCode toolkit provides the scan_and_fingerprint_package and fingerprint_codebase pipelines for ScanCode.io.

These pipelines add resource and directory fingerprints to the extra_data field.
