try-rs
try-rs is a blazing fast, Rust-based CLI tool to manage temporary workspaces and experiments with a clean, date-organized structure and a powerful TUI.
Instead of cluttering your filesystem with random folders like test1, final-test, etc., try-rs organizes them automatically and provides an interface to create, browse, search, open, and safely delete them.
