If you wanted to use the item hash from the create_a_hash.rb and use it in irb?

That worked for me in a workspace. My create_a_hash.rb was just in the default folder for a new workspace. If you've put yours inside another folder, then you'd have to add that folder name before the file name.

If you had hash = Hash.new in create_a_hash.rb, then you could run IRB with the line above, then you'd have access to hash from within your IRB session.
