How to create a new folder in ubuntu terminal

To create a new folder in the Ubuntu terminal, you can use the mkdir command followed by the name of the folder you want to create.

Here's the basic syntax:

mkdir [folder_name]

Replace [folder_name] with the name you want to give to your new folder.

For example, to create a folder named "myfolder", you would type:

mkdir myfolder

Press Enter to execute the command, and the folder will be created in your current working directory.

You can also create a new folder in a specific directory by specifying the full path to the folder. For example:

mkdir /path/to/new/folder

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

Some additional options you can use with the mkdir command:

• -p creates the folder and all its parent directories if they don't exist: mkdir -p /path/to/new/folder
• -v verbose mode, shows the folder creation process: mkdir -v myfolder
• -m sets the permissions for the new folder: mkdir -m 755 myfolder

Note: If you want to create a folder with a space in its name, you need to enclose the name in quotes, like this: mkdir "my folder".
