Creating Directories with mkdir

To create a directory in the command prompt, use the mkdir command (or MD command).

mkdir Newdirectory

An empty folder will be created in the current folder, but if you include the path, the command will create the folder on the specified path.

md C:\Users\user1\data

The mkdir command can create multiple directories and subdirectories at once:

mkdir data1 data2 data3
mkdir dir1\dir2\dir3

PowerShell also includes the mkdir command to create folders.
