You can create multiple directories at once using the mkdir command by listing the directory names separated by spaces. Here’s how to do it:
Basic Syntax:
mkdir directory1 directory2 directory3
Example:
To create three directories named dir1, dir2, and dir3, you would use:
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
Creating Nested Directories:
If you want to create nested directories (e.g., parent/child), you can use the -p option:
mkdir -p parent/child
This command will create the parent directory and the child directory inside it, even if the parent directory does not already exist.
Using Brace Expansion:
You can also use brace expansion to create multiple directories with similar names:
mkdir dir{1,2,3}
This command creates dir1, dir2, and dir3.
