For each file, put the file in quotation marks, a colon, the SHA1 checksum in quotation marks, and separate items with a comma. To get the SHA1 checksum for a file, perform the following command in a terminal window from the directory where the pass files exist:

$ openssl sha1 pass.jsonSHA1(pass.json)= b636f7d021372a87ff2c130be752da49402d0d7f ...
