About:
TryRs is a command-line tool that creates disposable, isolated workspaces for rapid testing and experimentation. It allows developers to quickly spin up temporary environments, run commands, and clean up without affecting their main system. This is particularly useful for testing scripts, trying out new tools, or debugging in a sandboxed context.

Key Features:

Creates disposable, isolated terminal workspaces
Fast setup and teardown for experimentation
Prevents clutter and side-effects in the main environment
Simple command-line interface for quick access

Use Cases:

Rapidly testing shell commands or scripts in a clean environment
Experimenting with new CLI tools without permanent installation
Debugging or reproducing issues in an isolated workspace

Alternatives:

docker run – More heavyweight, requires Docker; TryRs is lighter and faster for terminal-only tasks
tmux new-session – Manages terminal sessions but doesn't provide isolated environments or automatic cleanup
