Using nano:

  1. Open the file with nano:
    nano filename.txt
  2. Make your changes.
  3. Save and exit by pressing CTRL + X, then Y to confirm, and Enter.

Using vim:

  1. Open the file with vim:
    vim filename.txt
  2. Press i to enter insert mode and make your changes.
  3. Press ESC to exit insert mode.
  4. Type :wq and press Enter to save and exit.
