What are the commands needed to create a folder in your user's documents folder if you are currently in the home folder? (using LINUX command line)

Question

please include the command that would be used in LINUX

Answer 1

You can move to the Documents folder first then create a directory:

cd ~/Documents
mkdir mynewdirectory

or you can do it all with absolute paths from wherever you are in your system:

mkdir ~/Documents/mymnewdirectory

(The ~ is a shortcut for your home directory, in which your Documents directory resides).

Answer 2

mkdir -p ~/Documents/newfolder/name/that/can/be/as/long/as/you/want

the -p flag lets you make multiple new directories all at once
