mkdir [folder_name]
mkdir /tmp/newdir
mkdir mydirectory
You create folders using the mkdir command:
$ mkdir fruits
You can create multiple folders with one command:
$ mkdir dogs cars
You can also create multiple nested folders by adding the -p option:
$ mkdir -p fruits/apples
Options in UNIX commands commonly take this form. You add them right
after the command name, and they change how the command behaves. You
can often combine multiple options, too.
You can find which options a command supports by typing man <commandname>.
Try now with 'man mkdir' for example
$ man mkdir
(press the 'q' key to esc the 'man page').
Man pages are the amazing built-in help for UNIX.
To create a new folder/directory
mkdir foldername
To view the contents of your folder
cd foldername -- to get inside the folder
then
ls or dir -- to view contents of the folder
To create a new file
touch example.txt -- filename and extension eg .js .html .txt
mkdir ./folderName
mkdir name_of_folder
mkdir [option] dir_name
$ mkdir -p /dbadmin
$sudo mkdir -m777 newFileName
777 is the permissions given to the file
