Golang playground link given in a SO question uses the sha256 lib of Go gives a different result than running the following command in Ubuntu linux.
echo "sha1 this string" | sha256sum
Go's result: fceab3bb749b11a43b89f21ccd28e3f5d8b38d5b23eeea960fc169ab482ee2cd
Linux result: 62d44fd0392ed998179bfd4a162141d7000d1f9aa4fae26465e2e4f57d3a420e
Is this not the correct way to create a digest in Go? Can someone explain what is going on here?
Because echo appends a character. Try doing echo -n:
echo -n "sha1 this string" | gsha256sum
