Mkdir command

In Windows, we can create directories from command line using the command mkdir(or md). Syntax of this command is explained below.

Create a folder from command line:

mkdir foldername

For example, to create a folder named ‘newfolder‘ the command is:

mkdir newfolder

Create directory hierarchy
We can create multiple directories hierarchy(creating folder and sub folders with a single command) using mkdir command.
For example, the below command would create a new folder called ‘folder1′ and a sub folder ‘folder2′ and a sub sub folder ‘folder3′.

mkdir folder1\folder2\folder3.

The above command is same as running the below sequence of commands.

mkdir folder1
chdir folder1
mkdir folder2
chdir folder2
mkdir folder3
