`hashFiles(path)`

Returns a single hash for the set of files that matches the `path` pattern. You can provide a single `path` pattern or multiple `path` patterns separated by commas. The `path` is relative to the `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` directory and can only include files inside of the `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`. This function calculates an individual SHA-256 hash for each matched file, and then uses those hashes to calculate a final SHA-256 hash for the set of files. For more information about SHA-256, see "[SHA-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2)."

The `path` is relative to the `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` directory and can only include files inside of the `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`. This function calculates an individual SHA-256 hash for each matched file, and then uses those hashes to calculate a final SHA-256 hash for the set of files. If the `path` pattern does not match any files, this returns an empty string. For more information about SHA-256, see "[SHA-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2)."

You can use pattern matching characters to match file names. Pattern matching is case-insensitive on Windows. For more information about supported pattern matching characters, see "[Workflow syntax for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}](/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions/#filter-pattern-cheat-sheet)."
