PowerShell: create directory
Create New Directory
Using mkdir
mkdir dirName
🟢 TIP:
mkdir is a builtin function, not a
Cmdlet
, not alias.
Using New-Item
New-Item dirName -ItemType directory
Hide the Output
In a script, it is annoying that mkdir prints output. You can surrpress the output.
mkdir dirName | out-null
out-null suppress the useless info about the fact you created a directory.
More efficient way to hide output:
$null = mkdir dirName
