PowerShell: Create Directory
Create New Directory
mkdir dirName
💡 TIP:
mkdir is a builtin function, not a
Cmdlet
, not alias.
Full syntax to make a directory:
New-Item dirName -ItemType directory # dirName can be name or full path
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
