TryIt.jl

An ephemeral-workspace manager for Julia developers. tryit spins up a dated scratch directory, drops you into it, and lets you clone repositories or take a git worktree of the repo you're in without polluting your working tree.

TryIt.jl is a functional mirror of Tobi Lütke's try — also reimplemented in C as tobi/try-cli and in Rust as try-rs — with a TUI built on Tachikoma.jl.

Contents

• Getting Started — install, shell integration, daily workflow (tryit, tryit clone, tryit worktree).
• Selector Interface — the panel layout, badges, and key bindings.
• Standalone App — build a self-contained tryit executable with PackageCompiler.
• Reference — auto-generated API documentation.
• Development — gates, drift guards, and the environments a dependency change breaks.
• Requirements — EARS traceability and the path to v1.0.
