Credits

This is a Raycast port of try by @tobi.

The directory structure, naming conventions (YYYY-MM-DD prefix), and core functionality are directly adapted from the original Ruby CLI tool. This extension reimplements a subset of those features in TypeScript for Raycast.

Recommended: Install the original try CLI for the full feature set (fuzzy search in terminal, worktree support, etc.).
