✅ Step-by-Step Guide:
Basic Redirection (〉):
Overwrites file with new output.
command 〉 file.txt
Examples:
ls 〉 files_list.txt # Save directory listing
date 〉 current_time.txt # Save current date/time
Append Output (〉〉):
Adds output to the end of an existing file.
command 〉〉 file.txt
Examples:
echo "New log entry" 〉〉 log.txt
free -h 〉〉 system_stats.txt
Capture Errors Too (2〉&1):
Saves both output and error messages.
command 〉 file.txt 2〉&1
Examples:
ls /valid /invalid 〉 output.txt 2〉&1
grep "search" *.log 〉 results.txt 2〉&1
Show and Save (tee):
Displays output while saving to a file.
command | tee file.txt
Examples:
neofetch | tee system_info.txt
ping example.com | tee ping_log.txt
