What is Redirects?
Redirects change where a command's input comes from or where its output goes, instead of the default terminal screen. The > operator sends output to a file, overwriting it, while >> appends to the end of a file instead. The < operator redirects input from a file, feeding its contents into a command instead of typing them manually.
