bash - What does `>>` mean in terminal command?


I came across a command just now given below -


$ echo 'eval "$(jenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

From what i can guess, it is probably used for committing the changes in .bash_profile but what exactly is it used for?



Answer



It redirects the stdout of the program before >> and appends it to the given file after.
