How Do We Check If a Directory is Already Exists in Bash Shell Script?

October 12 2021

We have two simple shell scripts here, to check the directory is already exist in your current location,





#!/bin/bash

DIRECTORY="LINUXFAQ"



if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then

  echo "The Directory $DIRECTORY is exist"

fi

or put ! symbol before the -d



if [ ! -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then

  echo "The Directory $DIRECTORY does not exist"

fi
