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 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
orvi /path/to/file
(orany 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
