Creating Files with Content

The touch command creates blank text files, and as we already know, weu can capture the output of programs to a text file by redirecting the program’s output to a file. Let’s review this by creating a new text file in the current directory that contains the text “Hello, World.” Use the echo command to print out the text and then redirect it to a file.

Using echo to create a file

$ echo 'Hello, World' > hello.txt
