Redirect output to a file. More information: https://gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Redirecting-Output.

  • Redirect stdout to a file:

command > path/to/file

  • Append to a file:

command >> path/to/file

  • Redirect both stdout and stderr to a file:

command &> path/to/file

  • Redirect stderr to /dev/null to keep the terminal output clean:

command 2> /dev/null

  • Clear the file contents or create a new empty file:

> path/to/file
