linux:files:move:file

Move a file to another destination (or just rename it).
$ touch ${filename}
try on your machine

This command is used to create an empty file in the current working directory or update the access and modification times of an existing file. The command "touch" is followed by the name of the file to be created or updated which is represented by the variable ${filename}. For example, if you want to create a new empty file named "example.txt", you would run the command: touch example.txt Or, if you want to update the access and modification times of an existing file named "example.txt", you would run the command: touch example.txt
