## Bash command: mkdir
|
|
|
|
**Creates a directory**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir directory_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make directory(ies) with the provided name if they do not already exist.
|
|
|
|
Commonly used options:
|
|
- `-p` no error if existing, make parent directories as needed.
|
|
- `-v` prints message for each created directory.
|
|
|
|
Let's say we need to create a directory `dir` in the path `a/b/c/dir`, but directory `b` and `c` don't exist. In this case, `mkdir -p a/b/c/dir` will create the missing directories in the path.
