Linux Basics: Working with the vi editor
Command: vi file
Working example: vi test.txt
This will bring up the vi editor, however I will need to press "i" to enter into insert mode.
Once in insert mode, press "esc" to exit the mode and the ":" to bring up your command line, you then need to tell vi what you want to do.
:w - write your file
:q - quit the file
:wq - write the file and then quit
:q! - I know I have changes but I don't want to save, force it to quit
