touch

Change a file access and modification times (atime, mtime). More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/touch.

Create a new empty file(s) or change the times for existing file(s) to current time:

touch {{path/to/file}}

Set the times on a file to a specific date and time:

touch -t {{YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS}} {{path/to/file}}

Set the time on a file to one hour in the past:

touch -d "{{-1 hour}}" {{path/to/file}}

Use the times from a file to set the times on a second file:

touch -r {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}

Create multiple files:

touch {{path/to/file{1,2,3}.txt}}
