Command to create new directory in linus
To create a new directory in Linux, you can use the mkdir
command. The basic syntax is:
mkdir [directory_name]
Replace [directory_name]
with the name you want to give to the new directory.
For example, to create a directory called "my_new_dir", you would use the following command:
mkdir my_new_dir
This will create a new directory called "my_new_dir" in the current working directory.
You can also use the -p
option to create the directory and all its parent directories if they don't already exist. For example:
mkdir -p my/new/directory
This will create the directory "my/new/directory" and all its parent directories if they don't already exist.
You can also use the mkdir
command with other options, such as:
-m
to set the permissions of the new directory-v
to verbose mode, which will show the output of the command-Z
to enable SELinux context
For example:
mkdir -m 755 -v my_new_dir
This will create a new directory called "my_new_dir" with permissions 755 and show the output of the command.
Note: The mkdir
command is case-sensitive, so if you want to create a directory with a specific case (e.g. "MyNewDir"), you need to use the correct case when creating the directory.
