Edit A File At A Specific Line Number

I use long-running Vim sessions where I constantly open files as new buffers with the :edit (or :e) command. Generally, when I open a new file I end up with the cursor at the top of the buffer and go from there. But what if I have a specific line number in mind and I want the cursor to start there?

The :edit command can receive arguments, including a line number argument. To open up to line 159, I can include the +159 argument in the command.

:edit +159 path/to/the/file.txt

See :h :edit and :h +cmd for more details about how :edit works and what the different arguments can do.
