What's the easiest way to create a file in Linux terminal?
Depending on what you want the file to contain:
touch /path/to/file
for an empty filesomecommand > /path/to/file
for a file containing the output of some command.
eg: grep --help > randomtext.txt
echo "This is some text" > randomtext.txt
nano /path/to/file
or vi /path/to/file
(or any other editor emacs,gedit etc
)
It either opens the existing one for editing or creates & opens the empty file to enter, if it doesn't exist
