Directory commands:

  mkdir
 cd
 rmdir

mkdir:

 mkdir -p first/second/third

If the first and second directories do not exist, due to the -p option, mkdir will create
these directories for us. If we do not specify the -p option, and request the creation of
directories, where parent directory doesn’t exist, we will get the following output

 mkdir -m a=rwx [directories]

The above syntax specifies that the directories created give access to all the users to
read from, write to and execute the contents of the created directories. You can use
‘a=r’ to only allow all the users to read from the directories and so on.
mkdir -m 755 /home/demo/sub1/Test

cd: command is used to change the directory:

 cd - take to the home directory

 cd .. - takes to the parent directory

 cd / - takes to the root directory
