Adding Subdirectories with Terminal

Today I learned a neat trick from lifehacker. My source article is here: http://lifehacker.com/create-new-directories-and-subdirectories-with-one-term-508906709

but the jist of it is that using the Terminal (I operate a Mac) you can create subfolders while making directories.

use the command mkdir -p to tell the console you're making a directory then set the name of the parent folder and subfolders as such:

mkdir -p parentFolder/childFolder/subChildFolder/asManyMoreAsYouWant

you can also add several subfolders of the same level by using curly brackets:

mkdir -p parentFolder/{childFolder1,childFolder2,childFolder3}
