mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.
It was a Unix command first
Fair enough 👍
Isn't it
mdandmkdiris just an alias in Powershell to accommodate Linux users?Every command that isn't fully expanded PowerShell commands is an alias.
dirandlsare both aliases forGet-ChildItem.Yeah posh has lot of aliases by default to make it more "friendly". mkdir is just new-item -type directory or whatever.
Also curl is just alias for invoke-webrequest and works nothing like curl
MD and MKDIR are ancient DOS commands.
I didn't actually know this, thanks for pointing out
