navigate back a directory in ruby [closed]

Question

How can I navigate back one or multiple directories in Ruby?

For example:

users/luigi/test/folder/file.rb

If I'm in the folder directory and want my file.rb script to load a file from within the test directory, how can I do that?

Something like:

require /../required_file.rb
