mkdir -p does not print "file exists" if the file exists. It does nothing.

This is a great way to shorten it up but how do I get the test -d in there so no output (File exists) is produced if mkdir -p fails?

@TobySpeight good point and that makes -e unnecessary so it's only 2 extra characters.

There's a slight difference IIUC: the original stops at the first error, but mkdir will continue with subsequent arguments before exiting with a failure code.

Trading some succinctness for a little extra efficiency, we could prefix the command with exec since there's no need to return to the shell.
