→Part 1: Creating Directories
# Issue a Linux command to confirm that you are now located in your home directory.<br><br>Although we will teach you how to '''remove''' directories and their contents in another section,<br>let's remove the created directory structure' and '''recreate''' the same directory structure<br>using just <u>one</u> command using pathnames.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to remove all of the directories that you have created:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">rm -r uli101xx acp100xx xyz100xx</span><br><br>
# Issue the following single Linux command to create the entire directory structure:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">mkdir -p /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/notes /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/tutorials /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/examples /home/your-seneca-id/acp100xx /home/your-seneca-id/xyz100xx</span><br><br>'''NOTE:''' The '''-p''' option allows "parent" directories to be automatically created first to then create their subdirectories.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to confirm that all of the directories have been created:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -ld /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/ /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/notes /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/tutorials /home/your-seneca-id/uli101xx/examples /home/your-seneca-id/acp100xx /home/your-seneca-id/xyz100xx</span>
