> Redirect output.
> More information: <https://gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Redirecting-Output>.
- Redirect `stdout` to a file:
`{{command}} > {{path/to/file}}`
- Append to a file:
`{{command}} >> {{path/to/file}}`
- Redirect both `stdout` and `stderr` to a file:
`{{command}} &> {{path/to/file}}`
- Redirect `stderr` to `/dev/null` to keep the terminal output clean:
`{{command}} 2> /dev/null`
- Clear the file contents or create a new empty file:
`> {{path/to/file}}`
- Redirect `stderr` to `stdout` for piping them together:
`{{command1}} 2>&1 | {{command2}}`
- Open a persistent file descriptor:
`exec {{3}}>{{path/to/file}}`
- Write to a custom file descriptor:
`{{echo text}} >&{{3}}`
