Another very common requirement for builds is generating checksums on your files. We've got you covered here now as well. Run checksum help for even more options.
You can provide a file globbing pattern to receive a checksum for all files in a directory that match that pattern.
The checksum command also supports some other popular formats for outputting checksums. The default format is checksum.
The checksum command will also write out a file that contains the hash which is a common requirement for builds that produce artifacts.
Write checksum(s) to a file named after the original file plus a new extension. This will create a file called myFile.zip.md5.
Control the file extension like so. (--write is optional when supplying an extension) This will create a file called myFile.zip.hash.
You can check a file against an existing checksum to make sure the file hasn't changed.
