Create a new directory or folder in Ubuntu

# create new directory(in current folder)
-----------------------------------------------
mkdir directory_name
-----------------------------------------------

# To verify it---
-----------------------------------------------
ls -l
-----------------------------------------------

# create directory on a path(another location)
-----------------------------------------------
mkdir /path/to/folder/directory_name
-----------------------------------------------

# create directory along with it parent directory
