Lesson 13: Saving Output with Redirection

A command's output doesn't have to vanish on screen. With the `>` sign you can redirect it into a file and save it. With `>>` you append to an existing file without erasing. That's how reports and logs are built.

> is like aiming a hose: instead of water spilling on the floor (the screen), it flows into a bucket (a file).

Redirect (>): Sends a command's output into a file instead of the screen
Overwrite: > creates a new file or erases the existing content
Append (>>): >> adds to the end of the file without erasing what's there
