 Trying to keep these basic videos real short and put out a couple of weeks again longer than I mean for them to be But today we're going to learn about creating directories. So I'm going to say MK dir that means make directory so I can make a directory and I can call it My folder and That folder now exists I can move into that folder by typing my folder I use tab to autocomplete and now I can make a folder inside this folder I can go make new folder And I can move into that directory Now you might try to make a few folders deep So let's say I want to make a folder called tests with a folder inside it called one with a folder inside it called Bob So I can say make directory test one Bob So this is going to give me an error so it cannot create this file. No such file directory exists So you're going wait, what do you mean that there's no such file or directory? Of course, there's not I'm trying to create it Well by default it's thinking that you want to create a Bob folder inside an existing folder called test and one But test and one don't exist yet. So what you can do is type in make dir dash p test One Bob and the B means or the P means creates all the parent directories So now we just created three folders one inside the other so I can go it's Test one Bob so I can go inside test if I want I can go inside one if I want and I can go inside Bob if I want and again, I can move up out of these directories like so and I can move all the way down into some of them. Let's say I want to go there. I can go like so So that is creating directories and directories inside directories, you can also create a bunch of directories So let's say I wanted to create five different directories Inside this directory not one inside the other but all inside this test folder that I'm in I can say make A, B, C and D now you notice there's spaces in there So it's going to see each one of those a separate folders So I can do that I can list it out and you can see that I created those four different folders What did what if you wanted to create a folder called? A, B, C, D would spaces in there first off You shouldn't ever really put spaces in a folder or file name. It's just annoying especially from a programmer side of things But if you wanted to you could so I can say make dur A, B, C and D and you see I'm putting inside quotations Now if I list it out you can see that I've created a single folder called A, B, C, D So I can try to move into that. So again, so now if I want to move into that I need to either put quotations around it or backslash out each space That's that's why you really one of the reasons you really shouldn't be putting spaces in folder file names Auto completion kind of helps with that, but it's it's rather annoying. So now I'm inside the A, B, C, D folder Moving back out of that. I could also do C, D, A, B, C, D with quotations So it's either put it in quotations now that there's spaces in there or put a backslash before each space If you know another way of doing that be sure to comment below and let me know Thanks for watching.
