ed is missing from the Arch base install? What is this world COMING to????
@jordyd 😶 The default editor for *nux systems is ed. Or just start using cat for bonus points:
cat > outfile.txt <<EOF
>some text
>to save
>EOF
@Haruspex I saw someone putting
`<file - FILENAME> TEXT`
and for the longest time I thought it was some bizarre way of writing "TEXT" to "FILENAME", but it was just their way of indicating what file TEXT was supposed to go in
@jordyd the many ways of *sh indeed
@jordyd Honestly though, some people are just shell magicians. I have seen dotFiles that felt like entering a different realm of terminal computing
@Haruspex
Shell scripts are black magic and not to be trifled with
@jordyd appropiate xkcd
