# Creating Non-Existent Directories
|
||||
|
||||
When creating new files from withing vim, using `:e`, you may find yourself
|
||||
creating that file in a directory that doesn't yet exist. Vim will tell you
|
||||
as much if you then try to save that file. To get around this, I have often
|
||||
shelled out with `:!mkdir %:h`. This is a bit awkward to type though.
|
||||
|
||||
The [`vim-eunuch`](https://github.com/tpope/vim-eunuch) plugin comes with a
|
||||
handy command for this. `:Mkdir` will create the parent directory for the
|
||||
current buffer. If you're in a situation where multiple levels of the
|
||||
buffer's directory don't exist, you can use `:Mkdir!` which will invoke
|
||||
`mkdir` with the `-p` flag.
