To check if a folder exists in Bash, you can use the test command to check if a directory exists and is a directory. The -d option is used to check for directories, and the -e option is used to check for the existence of any kind of file.
Here is an example of how you can check if a folder exists in Bash:
if test -d /path/to/folder; then
# folder exists and is a directory
else
# folder does not exist or is not a directory
fi
Alternatively, you can also use the [ -d /path/to/folder ] syntax, which is equivalent to the test command shown above.
Here is an example of how you can use this syntax to check if a folder exists:
if [ -d /path/to/folder ]; then
# folder exists and is a directory
else
# folder does not exist or is not a directory
fi
In both examples, the if statement checks if the /path/to/folder directory exists and is a directory. If it does, then the code in the then block will be executed. Otherwise, the code in the else block will be executed.
