`try` lets you run a command and inspect its effects before changing your live system. `try` uses Linux's [namespaces (via `unshare`)](https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/unshare.html) and the [overlayfs](https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/overlayfs.html) union filesystem.

Please note that `try` is a prototype and not a full sandbox, and should not be used to execute
commands that you don't already trust on your system, (i.e. devices in `/dev` are
mounted in the sandbox, and network calls are all allowed.) Please do not
attempt any commands that will remove everything in /dev or write zeros to your
disks.
