Create new file nano linux

To create a new file using the nano editor in Linux, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Type the command nano followed by the name of the file you want to create, for example:
    nano mynewfile.txt
  3. Press Enter to create the file.

Alternatively, you can use the touch command to create a new file, like this:

touch mynewfile.txt

Then, you can open the file in nano using the command:

nano mynewfile.txt

Either way, nano will open a new file with a blank slate, where you can start typing your content.

Note: If you want to create a file with a specific extension (e.g., .txt, .cpp, etc.), make sure to include the extension in the filename.
