Visual Studio Code is not recognizing the touch index.html command . It used to work. Now I get this error:

PS C:\Users\kimim_000\mynewprofile> touch index.html touch : The term 'touch' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

  • touch index.html
  •   + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (touch:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I had the same issue as well. I used "code" in place of "touch" to create my file.

Are you using PowerShell?

I think this answer explains it well if you are.

Basically, touch isn't a PowerShell or Windows command. The command if this is the issue is New-Item or Get-Item
