Can we create a text file directly in storage buckets with commands like "vi"?

No, you would need to upload the file to S3. With sync you can configure a process that will copy files from your local file system to S3 automatically at some specified interval. https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/sync.html
You can’t do that unfortunately 🙂
vi or nano or other text editor is a regular application runs on top of an operating system, and such program interacts with storage device via an abstract layer provided by OS called "file system". In other words, regular applications can only read/write to file-based storage device (that provides NFS,ext3/4, xfs, etc.).
GCS is a block-based storage service, and you will need a special program to read/write data to it (in this case, the gsutil command).
Thanks, Tuan LE, for answering my query. I appreciate your help.
Although the same principal applied, but in this case tt’s GCS, not AWS S3 😉
