Try is a command-line utility that makes it easy to test-drive other people's projects without side effects.
Usage:
$ try [repo]
Try will clone the repo, set up the environment, install dependencies, and then drop you into a shell where you can play around. Once you're done, exit the shell and everything will be deleted.
Installation:
$ go get github.com/zachlatta/try/cmd/try
Examples:
$ try https://github.com/ggbrw/boolr
$ try https://github.com/shivammathur/IPpy
$ try https://github.com/maxhallinan/my-clippings-to-json
Currently supported environments:
- Node / JavaScript
If you'd like to add support for another environment, create a new strategy in runner/strategy/. See runner/strategy/node.go for an example.
If you're like me, you've spent a bunch of time customizing your development environment and you want access to your custom dotfiles, non-traditional shell, and your editor when playing around with new repositories.
Try opts for using temp directories over Docker so you have access to all of your tooling without having to re-install anything.
Try should be capitalized at the beginning of sentences, but lowercased everywhere else.
Examples:
Why doesn't try support Docker?
Try doesn't support Docker because of the reason explained above.
