CREATE FOLDER

Create a new folder in the current context, in a specified path, or at a specified reference (branch, tag, or commit).

Syntax

CREATE FOLDER [ IF NOT EXISTS ] <folder_name>
   [ AT { REF[ERENCE] | BRANCH | TAG | COMMIT } <refValue> ]

Parameters

[ IF NOT EXISTS ] Optional

When included, the command runs regardless of whether the folder exists and you receive a summary indicating whether the folder could be created. If this clause is not specified, the command fails if the folder to be created already exists.

---

<folder_name> String

The name of the folder that you are creating. If a source is not specified, the folder is created in the source specified in the query context. The name cannot include the following special characters: /, :, [, or ].

---

AT { REF[ERENCE] | BRANCH | TAG | COMMIT } <refValue> String   Optional

Specifies the reference where you want the new folder to be created from. When this parameter is omitted, the current reference is used.

• REF: Identifies a specific branch, tag, or commit.
• BRANCH: Identifies a specific branch.
• TAG: Identifies a specific tag.
• COMMIT: Identifies a specific commit. Commit hashes must be enclosed in double quotes (for example, “ff2fe50fef5a030c4fc8e61b252bdc33c72e2b6f929d813833d998b8368302e2”).
