mkdir -p toplevel/sublevel_{01..09}/{child1,child2,child3}
This will create a top level folder called toplevel
, nine folders inside of toplevel
named sublevel_01
, sublevel_02
, etc. Then inside of those sublevels: child1
, child2
, child3
folders, giving you:
toplevel/sublevel_01/child1
toplevel/sublevel_01/child2
toplevel/sublevel_01/child3
toplevel/sublevel_02/child1
and so on. I find this very useful for creating multiple folders and sub folders for my specific purposes, with one bash command. Substitute variables to help automate/parse information given to the script.
