move a directory in ruby

In Ruby, you can move a directory using the FileUtils module which provides several utility methods for manipulating files and directories.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to move a directory:

main.rb
require 'fileutils'

# specify the path of the directory you want to move
directory_path = '/path/to/directory'

# specify the new path for the directory
new_path = '/path/to/new/directory/location'

# move the directory
FileUtils.mv(directory_path, new_path)
260 chars
11 lines

In the above code, we first require the fileutils library that provides the mv method. We then specify the path of the directory that we want to move and the new path where we want to move the directory. Finally, we use the mv method to move the directory to the new location.

Note: If the new directory already exists, the old directory will be moved/merged into it. If not, a new directory will be created at the specified location with the same name as the old directory.
