Build::Files is a set of idiomatic classes for dealing with paths and monitoring directories. File paths are represented with both root and relative parts which makes copying directory structures intuitive.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'build-files'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install build-files

The basic structure is the Path. Paths are stored with a root and relative part. By default, if no root is specified, it is the dirname part.

require 'build/files'

path = Build::Files::Path("/foo/bar/baz")
=> "/foo/bar"/"baz"

> path.root
=> "/foo/bar"
> path.relative_path
=> "baz"

Paths can be coerced to strings and thus are suitable arguments to exec/system functions.
