How to create a file in Linux from terminal window? [closed]

Question

Is there any way to create a file in my Linux terminal?

Answer 1

It Depending on what the file should contain:

• touch /path/to/file for an empty file
• somecommand > /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 will open the existing file for editing or creates & opens an empty file to enter, if it doesn't exist
