Also you will need software like termux that is basically a shell and whatever command you type let's you make use of services provided by os, download termux from playstore Did you searched on Google? Seems like you didn't ,you need a text editor ,use vim or Emacs or whichever you prefer ,I have been using vim , works fine for me and easy to understand , pkg install vim vim filename there are two modes in vim ,normal mode where you can enter commands and insert mode that let's you write text ,press i to go into insert mode and esc to go into normal mode ,rest you can learn about all the vim commands from the tutorials available on net for your use case I don't think you need vim just do cat filename and it will open up file to enter text but if you want to deal with extra stuff you can use a editor
