Question

How do I create a text file and add text to it in Git Bash?

Is there a command for that operation?

Answer 1

In git bash, the simplest way to create/write a file is:

echo "some text" > aNewFile

Then you can edit it:

vi aNewFile

Answer 2

you can create any new file by using any Editor's command.

Now, there are many editors for git : vi, nano, gedit, etc.. Typing

nano hey.txt 

or

vim hey.txt

will create new hey.txt in the git repository folder(if not already created) and will open the editor for you to edit your .txt file in simple text. Then save it and you are done !
