Right? The others don't overwrite. They append or do nothing.

I think "cmd || foo.txt" is definitely not the right answer, but I can't remember what it does exactly.

I keep mixing up the symbols! I know ">>" appends, but I can't recall if ">" is the one that overwrites.

I think the command that overwrites the file is the one with a single greater than sign, but I'm not completely sure.
