I need to create multiple directories using one command.  Is it possible?

Like directory name starts from 1-100.

mkdir 1..100

You don’t need a (for...do...done) loop; just do

mkdir $(seq 1 100)

Or, in bash,

mkdir {1..100}

  • It should be mkdir $(seq 1 100),and yes a for loop is not necessary in this case,I just got used to it.. Commented Oct 27, 2018 at 5:11
  • Or even mkdir {001..100} Commented Oct 27, 2018 at 8:27
