        I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

        Changing timestamps and creating empty files…

        Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔

          It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do “things” on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is “to poke it”: to touch it.
