Answer 1

if you are using node.js just use npm to install it on Windows:

C:\npm install touch-cli -g

it will install the command line interface for touch, you can then use it the same as unix...

Answer 2

If you are trying to use TypeScript in ReactNative first run:

npm install touch-cli -g

and then you can use touch, example:

touch rn-cli.config.js

Answer 3

ex: type nul >test.html in windows CMD & another one ways is

echo.>test.html

both are working 100% fine

Answer 4

The command you're trying to run is a unix/linux based command so it won't work in Windows.

All it does is update the modified timestamps of a file.

There's another question on here that gives you an alternative for Windows: https://superuser.com/questions/10426/windows-equivalent-of-the-linux-command-touch/764716

Answer 5

Just run it through the GitBash terminal on windows and it works fine

Answer 6

If you are on windows device just install git bash and type the following command

touch test.html.

The above command will generate a zero kilobyte test.html file for you in your specified directory. It is applicable to any other type of file.
