Bash mkdir and subfolders

Question

Why I am not supposed to do something like this?

 mkdir folder/subfolder/ 

To achieve this I have to do:

mkdir folder

cd folder

mkdir subfolder

Is there a better way to do it?

Answer 1

You can use the below command:

mkdir -p folder/subfolder

The -p causes parent directories to be created if necessary.
