Basic Linux commands such as creating,renaming and deleating files and directories.Use
command like ‘mkdir’, ‘touch’, ‘rm’and ‘mv’.

mkdir
mkdir command allows you to create fresh directories in the terminal itself.

In case you want to create another directory inside the main directory
B.SC.-III to store FOSS, you can use the following command to do so. mkdir
GeeksforGeeks/Foss

folder.

used cd B.SC.III to switch the directory and with again pwd command we can
see the output is the switched directory, i.e – B.SC.-III
