Create a new folder on linux

To create a new folder on Linux, you can use the mkdir command. Here's how:

  1. Open a terminal window.

  2. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the new folder using the cd command. For example:

    cd /path/to/directory

    Replace /path/to/directory with the actual path to the directory where you want to create the new folder.

  3. Use the mkdir command to create the new folder. For example:

    mkdir mynewfolder

    Replace mynewfolder with the name you want to give to the new folder.

  4. Press Enter to create the folder.

You can also use the -p option with mkdir to create the folder and any parent directories that don't already exist. For example:

mkdir -p /path/to/new/folder

This will create the /path/to/new/folder directory and any parent directories that don't already exist.

Alternatively, you can use the mkdir command with the --parents option to achieve the same result. For example:

mkdir --parents /path/to/new/folder

Note that the --parents option is available in some Linux distributions, but not all. The -p option is more widely supported.
