# Adding Folders to Your Home Directory

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

When you create a project, Anypoint Code Builder stores it in your home directory by default. You
can create other folders for your projects.

Don’t create the project within another project directory.

## Create a Project Folder

To create a local folder for your projects:

1.  Open the Command Palette.

3.  Use your local directory to create a new folder.

## Create a Project Folder from the Terminal

Use the terminal to create folders.

1.  Ensure that no projects are open.

2.  Open the Terminal window in the console:

    - Select **View** > **Terminal**.

    - Alternatively, press Ctrl and then press the backtick key (\`).

3.  Provide this command to create a folder:

    ```none
    mkdir <name-of-your-folder>
    ```

    Replace `<name-of-your-folder>` with a name of your choice for the directory.
