SHELL

mkdir - p linux

The -p flag will create nested directories, but only if they dont exist already.

For example, suppose you have a directory /foo that you have write permissions for.

mkdir -p /foo/bar/baz  # creates bar and baz within bar under existing /foo

It is also an idempotent operation, because if you run the same command over again, you will not get an error, but nothing will be created.

mkdir -p shell

mkdir newfolder #Creates new folder in current directory
mkdir -p newfolder/subfolder #Creates folder with nested subfolders

mkdir command

#usage:
mkdir <name>

#also it can be abbreviated to:
md <name>#in cmd(windows)

#it creates a folder with name <name>
