## Name

svn mkdir — Create a new directory under version control.

## Synopsis

    svn mkdir PATH...

    svn mkdir URL...

## Description

Create a directory with a name given by the final component of the `PATH` or `URL`. A directory specified by a working copy `PATH` is scheduled for addition in the working copy. A directory specified by a URL is created in the repository via an immediate commit. Multiple directory URLs are committed atomically. In both cases, all the intermediate directories must already exist unless the `--parents` option is used.

## Alternate names

None

## Changes

Working copy; repository if operating on a URL

## Accesses repository

Only if operating on a URL

## Options

    --editor-cmd EDITOR
    --encoding ENC
    --file (-F) FILE
    --force-log
    --message (-m) TEXT
    --parents
    --quiet (-q)
    --with-revprop ARG

## Examples

Create a directory in your working copy:

    $ svn mkdir newdir
    A         newdir

Create one in the repository (this is an instant commit, so a log message is required):

    $ svn mkdir -m "Making a new dir." http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/newdir

    Committed revision 26.
