I am tired of creating a file with nano, saving it and then making it executable. Is there a command that makes it in one step?

Use && to use multiple commands one after the other, don't use ;.

- && means execute if the command before ended successfully

- || means execute if the commnad before failed

- ; just means execute the command - no matter if succeeded or failed

My dude, thanks for this. I've been using && for a long time now but never knew the rest, I'm still pretty new to linux comparatively.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
