Well, it's not that hard, the basics are quite simple. The concept one
must learn is that of modes. The most used and most common modes are
command mode and input mode. When vi starts, it's in command mode.
Press i to get into input mode, then edit the file like you would with
any file, then to save and quit, press escape to get back into command
mode, then type :wq<enter>.
