    truncate -s 0 ~/.vimrc
Shorter way:

    > ~/.vimrc

I'm trying to avoid cluttering $HOME. In my case it's ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

Not really shorter as I have to Ctrl+C to get back to shell afterwards.

Anyways my zsh has noclobber set so your command fails with error: zsh: file exists: ~/.vimrc

> ~/.vimrc works on bash, but it hangs on zsh because it treats it like cat > ~/.vimrc (> without any command in front of it is not well defined in POSIX) So portable way to do this is like this:

:> ~/.vimrc

:> ~/.vimrc
