This is what I am doing on linux

cat a-directory/* | md5

What would be the alternative in PowerShell, maybe something with CertUtil?

The reason I am doing this is that I want to make sure I can copy a large directory.

    Get-FileHash, but consider using Robocopy instead of rolling your own solution. Commented Jun 12, 2020 at 12:16

    This definitely won't win any beauty awards, but at least returns the same result: ([System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm]::Create('MD5').ComputeHash([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes((gc C:\a-directory\*.*) -join '')) | % { $_.ToString('x2') }) -join '' Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 13:21
