I "surf" the terminal sometimes (in fact more and more) and a mkcd command would come in handy (mkdir + cd).

I did a google search, found a solution but it left me confused. Anyone capable to implement this? Thx.

well I'm new to this too but i just made and tested an alias 30 seconds ago and it worked fine.

Like this in tsch shell:

alias mkcd 'set thepath = \!*; mkdir $thepath; cd $thepath'


now i can just do

mkcd /user/example/path/with/dir/name

and it makes and moves to that dir but I'm sure there is a better way

If you make it mkdir -p it'll create all the non-existing folders from your example too

lol I was gonna add that and in fact I had -p in there but deleted it at the last second because
I feel it should not be hard coded in since it is an option after all

Works, terrific! Thanks a lot!

Bourne-shell style alias:
alias mkcd='mkdir -p $1 && cd $1'
