+== Why is this an issue?
+
+`Path.of()` provides a modern and consistent approach to creating Path instances, aligning with factory methods such as `List.of()` and `Set.of()`.
+Additionally, `Paths.get()` may be deprecated in future versions of Java.
+
+== How to fix it
+
+Replace `Paths.get()` with `Path.of()`.
+
+=== Code examples
