About sttr
sttr applies transformation operations to strings from the command line. It covers encoding and decoding such as Base32, Base64 and Ascii85, hashes such as MD5, and many other text conversions.
It can take input from an interactive prompt, directly as an argument, from a file or from another command, write results to a file, and chain several processors together. Binaries are available for Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD, with packages for Homebrew, Snap, Winget, Scoop and Docker.
