No, GitHub does not provide hashes of tarballs.

Yes, computing it is fine; sha256 is good.

So, you'd add this hash as thus in the .hash file:
# Locally computed:
sha256 06f7cb00b213bbe83d72f4f2076b675a662697034e1d2cdc2dce987e35c827bc tovid-0.35.0.tar.gz
> Are uploaded tarballs still preferred for projects on github?
Yes. See:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html#github-download-url
Quoting:
If there is a release tarball uploaded by the maintainer, we prefer
to use that [...]

Yann E. MORIN.
