How to force rsync to create missing directories?

Question

linux

For example:

rsync -avr --delete /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/src/1/3q/RS /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/dst/1/3q

in /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/dst there really are no "1" and "3q" directories, I want to teach rsync how to create them
.

Answer 1

On SO, it is advised to use this hack:

--rsync-path="mkdir -p /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/dst/1/3q && rsync"

Answer 2

rsync -avr --delete /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/src/1/3q/RS/ /home/serjantiquity/work/mam/dst/1/3q/RS/
The trailing slashes are important.
