00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:13,020
As usual in graphical interface s File Explorer it is really simple to create new empty file

2
00:00:18,990 --> 00:00:21,630
but how to do that in terminal.

3
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:25,890
So open terminal.

4
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:34,810
And just use common touch and specify a name of a file you want to create.

5
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:36,390
For example Hello.

6
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,120
Text.

7
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:39,750
That's it.

8
00:00:42,980 --> 00:00:45,210
By typing I'll ask a man.

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,610
We can check that new file was really great.

10
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:51,310
So type alas

11
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:59,060
and we see that new File hello.

12
00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:01,250
The text was really great.

13
00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:10,580
What is really good when using such command is the ability to create multiple files with just one come

14
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:11,750
up.

15
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:18,040
So just type touch and name more than one file you want to create.

16
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,650
In my case one dot text to that text and three dot BATF

17
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:28,370
in file explorer.

18
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:32,180
We can check that files were created

19
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:45,490
and also in terminal by typing Ellis command we can reach it dead files were truly created

20
00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:03,700
if we check manual for a touch command by typing man touch we see that it is also used for a changing

21
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:11,110
file timestamps but during this course we will use it mainly for creating new files.
