find the creation date of a directory in ruby

You can use the File::Stat class to get metadata about a directory, including its creation time. Here's an example:

main.rb
dir_path = '/path/to/directory'
stat = File::Stat.new(dir_path)
creation_time = stat.ctime
puts "Directory #{dir_path} was created at #{creation_time}"
152 chars
5 lines

In this example, we create a File::Stat object for the directory at dir_path. We can then access the creation time of the directory using the ctime method of the File::Stat object. Finally, we print out a message indicating the path and creation time of the directory.
