## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

try is a small Ruby command-line tool for creating, finding, and entering fresh directories for short-lived experiments. The README frames it as a one-file script for developers who keep making test directories and want those experiments organized instead of lost in /tmp or scattered across a filesystem.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The project is maintained in Tobi Lutke's GitHub account and centers on the phrase 'Your experiments deserve a home.' Its implementation and documentation emphasize zero configuration, no runtime dependencies beyond Ruby, and a shell integration that lets the command change the caller's working directory.

### 採用の歴史

try became visible well beyond a private dotfile script: GitHub shows thousands of stars, the repository includes Homebrew formula material, and the README recommends RubyGems installation as try-cli. It also has a later Rust descendant, try-rs, whose README names this project as the inspiration.

### 使われ方

A typical user installs the gem or downloads the script, evaluates the shell init output, and then types partial experiment names. try fuzzy-matches existing experiment directories, ranks recent ones highly, and creates dated directories when no existing match is selected.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

The project is a package-nerd artifact because it turns a personal shell habit into a packaged CLI with RubyGems and Homebrew paths. It is intentionally small, but it influenced the later try-rs rewrite and sits in the lineage of tiny tools that formalize local development rituals.

### タイムライン

- 2026: GitHub release v1.9.0 added terminal title behavior for the TUI.
- 2026: The README documents RubyGems as the recommended installation path and manual shell setup as a fallback.

### Related projects

- try-rs is the direct Rust port and re-imagining of try.
- The tool is related to fuzzy directory switchers and shell workspace managers, but focuses specifically on experiment directories.
