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 [...]
