What is faster or considered better practice in shell scripts to first Cd into a directory then carry out commands or to write the full path?
For example: Is it better to write cd /directory1/ and then mkdir subdirectory/ or mkdir /directory1/subdirectory/.
What if you need to execute a few commands in a directory (in the above example make a few subdirectories) then would the answer change?
When you say mkdir /directory1/subdirectory/ is it, in reality, doing cd /directory1/ and then mkdir subdirectory/ or not?
mkdir is just an example but the question can apply to alot of similar commands.
