How to create nested directories?

You can create nested directories in Linux using the mkdir command with the -p option. This allows you to create a directory structure where parent directories are created automatically if they do not already exist.

Syntax:

mkdir -p parent_directory/child_directory/grandchild_directory

Example:

To create a nested directory structure like projects/web_app/src/components, you would use:

mkdir -p projects/web_app/src/components

Explanation:

• The -p option ensures that all parent directories (projects, web_app, src) are created if they do not exist.
• This command will create the entire path in one go without raising an error if any part of the path already exists.
