Create Multiple Nested Directories in Linux

Did you know that you can create a complete directory tree with one command?

Let’s start with a simple example:

mkdir -p a/b/c

will create this tree:

`-- a
    `-- b
        `-- c

And any of these:

mkdir -p a/{b1,b2}/c

or

mkdir -p a/b{1,2}/c

Will create this tree:

`-- a
    |-- b1
    |   `-- c
    `-- b2
        `-- c

And a little more complicated command:

mkdir -p a/b{1,2,3/c{1,2}}/d

Will create this tree:

`-- a
    |-- b1
    |   `-- d
    |-- b2
    |   `-- d
    `-- b3
        |-- c1
        |   `-- d
        `-- c2
            `-- d
