Our first program demonstrates working with directories in the file system. Here’s the full source code:
To run the program, save it as directories.cr

This program demonstrates various operations with directories in Crystal:
- Creating directories with
Dir.mkdir
and Dir.mkdir_p
- Listing directory contents with
Dir.entries
- Changing the current working directory with
Dir.cd
- Walking a directory tree recursively with
Dir.walk
- Checking if a path is a directory with
File.directory?
- Creating empty files
- Cleaning up temporary directories using
at_exit
Crystal’s standard library provides a rich set of tools for working with the file system, making it easy to perform common directory operations.
