You have the choice, depending of what you need ...

To create an empty file :
touch file
File with datas :
echo "First line" > file
echo "Second line" >> file
Copying file to another :
cp source_file file
Create file with editor :
vi file

and much of other possibilities . . .

cat /dev/null > file
