The Bash/git shell has the ability to create a empty file really easily.
For example an empty ReadMe.md
file would be created using:
touch ReadMe.md
In the Windows Command Prompt we need to use:
copy nul > ReadMe.md
The >
tells the command to write to a file with the name of the file after the >
.
If you used >>
it would append the output of the command to the file named after the >>
.
` Thanks to Othneil Drew's "Best-README-Template" repository for the starter ReadMe file.
You may download the BLANK_README by accessing it in the assets folder, or clicking on the BLANK_README link.
Copy the file into your repository, and rename to ReadMe.md
