Directories

As we mentioned before, a directory is just a location in a filesystem that can contain files and other directories. On some systems, directories are called "folders," but it's the same thing.

The mkdir Command

The "make directory" command creates a new directory inside (or relative to) the current directory.

mkdir my_directory

Assignment

During your digging, you find that a file appears to be out of place!

Change into the worldbanc/public/products/credit_cards directory.
List the contents from there. You should see a file called shortterm.txt. That's one of our Certificates of Deposit (CDs), not a credit card!
Go back to the products directory and create a new directory called cds.
List the contents of the products directory again to confirm that the new directory was created.

Submit the shell checks.
