Todos

• Add more logs
• Add support of keeping files as well.
• Persist data this on disk to avoid failover.
• Store timezone-aware time in created_at field.
• Show directory created datetime on ls command.
• Currently subdirectories are stored in a list which makes fetching directory by name expensive - O(N) time complexity. Use a dictionary/Hash map to store subdirectories.
