There's nothing to remember ;).
I also don't know how to append text, but I just need 'tee' to
overwrite, so no option is needed at all.
To replace '>' just '| sudo tee' is needed.
However, replacing ">>" is just one 'help' away, it's '| sudo tee -a'.


$ tee --help | grep append
  -a, --append              append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
$ echo "hello" > world.txt
$ cat world.txt
hello
$ echo "world" | tee -a world.txt 
world
$ cat world.txt
hello
world
$ echo "overwrite" | tee world.txt
overwrite
$ cat world.txt
overwrite
