Quickly Make Sequential Directories In Bulk From Linux Terminal

Directories in an alphabetical or numbered sequence can be created directly from Linux Terminal in bulk.

So for example, if a list of directories corresponding to years starting from say 2017 to 2020 need to be created, they can be done all through a single command.

Here is how :

From the Linux terminal, type :

[cc lang=”bash”]

mkdir {2017..2020}

[/cc]

The curly braces will contain the first and last entries while the dots will contain everything in between. This is a timesaver rather than trying to individually create each directory.

Same can be done for alphabetical order, simply type in :

[cc lang=”bash”]

mkdir {A..Z}

[/cc]

This will create directories named from A to Z.

Isn’t working from Linux Terminal interesting? 🙂
