Make nested folders in one go with mkdir -p

mkdir a/b/c fails if a doesn't exist yet. Add -p and it builds the whole path, no errors.

⏱ 15s

1. Type mkdir -p and the full path you want, like mkdir -p notes/2026/march.
2. Press Enter: every missing parent folder is created on the way.
3. Run it again: -p doesn't complain if the folders already exist.
4. Add -v to print each folder as it's made.

Tip: Combine it with braces to make sibling folders at once: mkdir -p site/{css,js,img}.
