mkdir: Create Folders Quickly

Share

mkdirThe Terminal is incredibly efficient when you need to make a few folders at once. You could come up with something in AppleScript or maybe Automator – but the Terminal makes it really easy.

By now you might know that Murphy always has a tiny Terminal window open. It’s great for zapping files to the web host or checking a calendar or even just restarting the Dock. As long as it’s open you can use it to create some folders too.

The screencast covers making multiple folders at once, spaces in folder names, and creating an entire hierarchy with a single command. The last part comes from a tip on Lifehacker.

In the screencast Murphy uses backslashes to escape spaces in a folder name. You could also use quotes around the name.

If you create the same groupings of folders all the time you could assign the command to an alias or create a shell script.
