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

I remember practicing with output redirection, and I feel like "cmd > foo.txt" is the right choice for overwriting.

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