## Command Specification (CLI)
The `assets folder create` command is used to create a folder in the asset directory.

The `--path` option is always required. The `--feed` option is required if there is no default feed configured.

**Creating a folder** requires the asset directory (e.g. `MyAssetDirectory`) and new folder name (e.g. `new-folder`):
```
pgutil assets folder create --feed=myAssetDirectory --path=new-folder
```

## HTTP Request Specification
To create a folder simply `POST` to the URL with the `AssetDirectoryName` and path to the folder.

```
POST /endpoints/«AssetDirectoryName»/dir/«path_to_folder»
```
