If you've in powershell new-item -type file exampleName.
In cmd type NUL > file.txt.

I think in the dev build you can make an alias with spaces in so in the next release you can do alias touch="type NUL > %1"

[Jackbennett]

And if you are using powershell, put this in you file at $profile

function touch{
    Param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$name
    )
    if(-not (test-path $name)){
        new-item -type file $name -force
    } else {
        Write-Warning "$name exists"
    }
}

We're working on making things like this much nicer.

Just using regular touch test.txt actually works for me and creates an empty file. Is that what you're wanting?

Hmm. Now it works for me too) Something strange )
