In this blog post, we will learn about Linux file system hierarchy concepts. Files and Directories are organized into a single-rooted inverted tree structure. The filesystem begin at the "root" directory, represented by a lone "/" (forward slash) character. Names are case-sensitive and paths are delimited by a "/".

<pre><code class="lang-`">mkdir &lt;directory name&gt;
cd &lt;directory name&gt;

Let us try to create a file system structure as shown in the following format:
<pre><code>.
└── India
 └── Karnataka
 └── Bangaluru
 └── South-Bangaluruu
</code></pre>Follow the below commands to create such file/directory structure:
<pre><code>% mkdir Asia
% cd asia
% mkdir India
% cd India
% mkdir Karnataka
% cd Karnataka
% mkdir Bangaluru
% cd Bangaluru
% mkdir South-Bangaluruu



% cd ../../..
</code></pre>Output:
<pre><code>% tree
.
└── India
 └── Karnataka
 └── Bangaluru
 └── South-Bangaluruu

4 directories, 0 files

In this blog post, we will learn about Linux file system hierarchy concepts. Files and Directories are organized into a single-rooted inverted tree structure. The filesystem begin at the "root" directory, represented by a lone "/" (forward slash) character. Names are case-sensitive and paths are delimited by a "/".

## Syntax:
````
mkdir <directory name>
cd <directory name>
```

## Example:

Let us try to create a file system structure as shown in the following format:

```
.
└── India
 └── Karnataka
 └── Bangaluru
 └── South-Bangaluruu

```

Follow the below commands to create such file/directory structure:


```
% mkdir Asia
% cd asia
% mkdir India
% cd India
% mkdir Karnataka
% cd Karnataka
% mkdir Bangaluru
% cd Bangaluru
% mkdir South-Bangaluruu
 


% cd ../../..
```
Output:

```
% tree
.
└── India
 └── Karnataka
 └── Bangaluru
 └── South-Bangaluruu

4 directories, 0 files
```
