asdf-nodejs VS GVM

I have used a similar tool asdf before, but the previous experience of using asdf was not very good (I don’t mean to step on it~, the ASDF ecosystem is very strong), vfox now supports a lot of plugins, and can already manage the versions of most common mainstream languages.

Not nix based, but I really like https://github.com/jdx/mise too to manage dev tools.

It’s a modern version of https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf written in Rust.

That's what I would suggest as well. WSL2 and use asdf[1] to manage the erlang/elixir versions.

[1]: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf

echo "Installing nodejs with asdf" asdf plugin add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git asdf install nodejs latest asdf global nodejs latest

However this is still a neat script OP! I was looking for something like this when installing Go for the first time and was contemplating between goenv, gvm, and asdf before settling on brew.

Have you tried this? https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs#nvmrc-and-node-versio...

Also lts, lts-hydrogen, etc are available to install I can see when running `asdf list all nodejs`

How does this compare to nvm or asdf?

I'm not too familiar with installing Ruby on Mac, but you could try using a ruby version manager (like rbenv or asdf).

For more information, or if you need help on this awesome tool, don’t hesitate to head over to asdf-vm.com. Also, feel free to star the GitHub Repository of asdf to support the team behind this project. 😉

nvm was adding a huge delay to my shell startup and starting node. There are faster ones out there like n https://github.com/tj/n or fnm https://github.com/Schniz/fnm I use fnm there are also similar tools that work with multiple languages like asdf https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf

I'd recommend using something like gvm: https://github.com/moovweb/gvm

Ah neat. For ref: https://github.com/moovweb/gvm. Not sure how I never saw that one. I guess I just probably googled "update golang bash github" at some point a few years ago and went with it.

I use the Go Version Manager. It is really easy to use and you can manage as many versions as you want: https://github.com/moovweb/gvm

Checkout out official GVM repo for more here.

We can use the gvm Go version manager to use versioned installation which is a tool that provides an interface to manage Go versions.

I've been using gvm for a while now to manage my Go versions. It's absolutely amazing, however, it's always lacked the ability to automatically create Go installations per repo like RVM does with .ruby_version.

what's new/different from all others Go version managers like https://github.com/moovweb/gvm for instance ?
