+# GetFileHash task
+
+Computes checksums of the contents of a file or set of files.
+
+This task was added in 15.8, but requires a [workaround](https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/pull/3999#issuecomment-458193272) to use for MSBuild versions below 16.0.
+
+## Task parameters
+
+ The following table describes the parameters of the `GetFileHash` task.
+
+|Parameter|Description|
+|---------------|-----------------|
+|`Files`|Required <xref:Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem>`[]` parameter.<br /><br />The files to be hashed.|
+|`Items`|<xref:Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem>`[]` output parameter.<br /><br />The `Files` input with additional metadata set to the file hash.|
+|`Hash`|`String` output parameter.<br /><br />The hash of the file. This is only set if there was exactly one item passed in.|
+|`Algorithm`|Optional `String` parameter.<br /><br />The algorithm. Allowed values: `SHA256`, `SHA384`, `SHA512`. Default = `SHA256`.|
+|`MetadataName`|Optional `String` parameter.<br /><br />The metadata name where the hash is stored in each item. Defaults to `FileHash`.|
+|`HashEncoding`|Optional `String` parameter.<br /><br />The encoding to use for generated hashes. Defaults to `hex`. Allowed values = `hex`, `base64`.|
+
+## Example
+
+The following example uses the `GetFileHash` task to determine and print the checksum of the `FilesToHash` items.
+
+```xml
+<Project>
+  <ItemGroup>
+    <FilesToHash Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)\*" />
+  </ItemGroup>
+  <Target Name="GetHash">
+    <GetFileHash Files="@(FilesToHash)">
+      <Output
+          TaskParameter="Items"
+          ItemName="FilesWithHashes" />
+    </GetFileHash>
+
+    <Message Importance="High"
+             Text="@(FilesWithHashes->'%(Identity): %(FileHash)')" />
+  </Target>
+</Project>
+```

+
+|Parameter|Description|
+|---------------|-----------------|
+|`File`|Required <xref:Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem> parameter.<br /><br />The files to be hashed and validated.|
+|`Hash`|Required `String` parameter.<br /><br />The expected hash of the file.|

+

+
+```xml
