md5sum_manyfiles.sh
Generate checksums for many files in a directory
```
# make checksums (use md5 on macos)
find ./some_dir -type f -exec md5sum {} \; >> checksums.md5
# check them
md5sum -c checksums.md5
# use gnu parallel for really many files? Much faster
find ./some_dir -type f | parallel --progress md5sum > checksum.md5
# check if everything ok
```
