title: Bash touch
---
## Bash command: touch
**Change timestamps of files.**
```
touch [options] filename
```
Creates empty file if not exists or modify times of existing files to current time.
Commonly used options:
- `-t` change timestamp to specific date ((YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS)) instead of current time.
- `-r` use timestamp from first file to second file.
Examples:
```
touch -t YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS filename
touch -r file1 file2
```
