- Open the terminal or command prompt.
- Type the command

followed by the name of the file you want to create, for example:nano mynewfile.txt

Note: If you want to create a file in a specific directory, you can specify the full path to the file, for example: nano /path/to/mynewfile.txt
Also, you can use the -c
option to create a new file with a specific name, for example: nano -c mynewfile.txt
