2.4.15.1. Common mkdir usage

• Use mkdir to create a new folder.

mkdir [new folder name]

• For example, create a folder called test.

mkdir test

mkdir myNewDir

The -p flag causes new intermediate directories to be created as necessary.

mkdir -p myNewDir/with/intermediate/directories

If the intermediate directories didn’t already exist, running the above command without the -p flag would return an error
