Create a file with the cat command

Using the cat command you can create a file quickly and add text. To do that, use the ">" operator to redirect the text in the file.

cat > filename.txt

This is how the file is created and you can start filling it with text. To add several lines of text, simply press Enter at the end of each line. When you are done, press CTRL + D to exit the file.

To verify that the file in effect has been created by the previous command, simply use the following ls command in the terminal:

ls -l
