Nice, but misses out few

There might be more but these were upto my knowledge
touch
command is the most basic one which many people misunderstand. Thetouch
command is used to modify timestamps on a file, but it actually gives the effect of creating a new file.touch filename - will create an empty file
touch -a filename - change the access time only
touch -c filename - if the file does not exist, do not create it
touch -d filename - update the access and modification times
touch -m filename - change the modification time only
touch -r - use the access and modification timestamp of file
touch -t - creates a file using a specified time
it creates a file and also can modify the timestamps
Exactly!
most of the people will not use these options & they won't bother about timestamps, so I haven't mentioned them previously.
Thanks for sharing this!

Beyond software development, I ask everyone to try and use a Linux distro as their primary desktop os. Benefits range from simple performance improvements to much better respect for your privacy in comparison to windows.
Yes, exactly!
Permission values are 1,2 and 4 as shown below and why not 3 after 1 and 2?
4 β read permission
2 β write permission
1 β execute permission
This is basing on the power of two, starting from zero.
2*0 = 1 β execute permission
21 = 2 β write permission
2*2 = 4 β read permission
Due to this logic, there is 4 and not 3.
This will help to remember permission values easily.
