Manpage almost

almost - an on-demand immutability and layering tool based on the (i)mmutable file attribute and tmpfs.

almost [OPTIONS] [COMMAND] [ARGS]

almost is a utility that provides on-demand immutability by toggling the immutability of files and directories in the system root. It also provides a way to create layers on top of immutable directories, allowing you to test changes before committing them.
