mkdir(make/create directory) command

To create a new directory, we use “mkdir DIRECTORY_NAME”. In this example, i am using dir1 as directory name. You can use directory name according to your choice.

mkdir -p is a command in Linux and Unix-like operating systems that creates a new directory. The -p option stands for "parent" and it allows you to create a directory hierarchy (a tree of directories) in one step, without getting an error if the parent directories already exist.

Here’s an example:

mkdir dir1             --> Create a directory
mkdir -p dir1          --> Create a directory if it is already exists
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3   --> Create 3 directories at a time 
mkdir Tester{0..5}     --> Create 6 dir at time

This will create the directory dir1 if it doesn't already exist. The -p option ensures that the whole hierarchy of directories is created in one step, without any errors.

Create a file with the touch command

If we have to create any file, we can use the touch command. Type “touch FILE_NAME.EXTENSION” then press enter.

In this example, I am creating a sample.txt file. You can create any other files like .docx, .html, .py, .csv, etc… according to your choice.

touch file1            --> Create a file with name file1
touch file1 file2 file3--> Create 3 directories at a time 
touch file{0..5}       --> Create 6 files at time
