  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    touch newfile.txt

    This will create a new file named newfile.txt in the current directory.

Method 2: Using the code command

  1. Open the VSCode terminal as described above.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    code newfile.txt

    This will create a new file named newfile.txt in the current directory and open it in VSCode.

Method 3: Using the echo command

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    echo "" > newfile.txt

    This will create a new file named newfile.txt in the current directory and add an empty line to it.

Note: The > symbol is used to redirect the output of the echo command to a file. The "" is an empty string, which is what gets written to the file.
