Linux CLI - File and Directory Operations

You want to create a directory structure project/src/components inside your home folder, but project does not exist yet. Which command will do this correctly?

Amkdir -p project/src/components

Bmkdir -p ~/project/src/components

Cmkdir ~/project/src/components

Dmkdir ~/project; mkdir ~/src; mkdir ~/components

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand nested directory creation with -p
The -p option creates all missing parent directories in the path.
Step 2: Check path correctness
Using ~ points to home directory. Without -p, mkdir fails if parents missing. Separate mkdir commands create unrelated folders.
Final Answer:
mkdir -p ~/project/src/components -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use -p with full path to create nested dirs [OK]

Quick Trick: Use -p and ~ for nested dirs in home folder [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Omitting -p for nested dirs
Not using ~ for home path
Creating unrelated directories separately
