# Buffers
A buffer is the in-memory text of a file. When you open a file in Vim, it creates a new buffer. From your terminal, open a new file `file1.js`:
A buffer is a in-memory space where you can write and edit some text. When you are opening a new file in vim its content will be bound to a new buffer:
1. From within vim, open a new buffer `:new` (create a new empty buffer)
2. From your terminal, open a new file `file1.js` (create a new buffer with `file1.js` bind to it)
If your buffer isn't bound to a file yet but you want to save its content, you can save it with `:w </path/to/file>`.
```
