ok

SHA-1 digest and compare of a directory:

$ step crypto hash digest --alg sha1 config/
d419284e29382983683c294f9593183f7e00961b  config/

$ step crypto hash compare --alg sha1 d419284e29382983683c294f9593183f7e00961b config
ok

MD5 of a file:

a2c5dae8eae7d116019f0478e8b0a35a  foo.crt

SHA-512/256 of a list of files:

$ find . -type f | xargs step crypto hash digest --alg sha512-256

Compare a previously created checksum file:

$ find path -type f | xargs step crypto hash digest --alg sha512-256 > checksums.txt

$ cat checksums.txt | xargs -n 2 step crypto hash compare --alg sha512-256
