How to create parent directories?

To create parent directories in one command, you can use the mkdir command with the -p option. This allows you to create a hierarchy of directories, including any necessary parent directories that do not already exist.

Command:

mkdir -p /path/to/parent/directory/new_directory

Example:

If you want to create a directory structure like /home/labex/project/subdir, you would run:

mkdir -p /home/labex/project/subdir

Explanation:

• -p: This option tells mkdir to create parent directories as needed.
• /home/labex/project/subdir: This is the full path where you want to create the new directory.
