  • create file : echo $null > File.txt
  • delete file : Remove-Item -Path "File.txt" -Force
  • Create a single folder : New-Item -Path "Folder_Name" -ItemType Directory

On Windows Powershell, use New-Item -Path . -Name "testfile1.txt". This creates a text file that is named testfile1.txt. You can also check out the Microsoft website for more information.

Once you are in the desired directory in VSCode terminal, use touch file_name.file_extension Eg: touch README.md. It works just like LINUX.

You can also use:

code filename.filetype

This also works with directories

code app/program.py

This wil open the new file in te editor (if the filetype allows it) and then you can just save it.

Ctrl + ` to open the terminal in Visual Studio Code.

echo > "File.txt" to create a new .txt file in the current directory.
