dotdrop VS asdf-nodejs

Oh! You should also check out dotdrop too! 😂

I use dotdrop

I am currently using AstroNvim config and I like it. I use dotdrop for backing up my dotfiles. I would like to backup my AstroNvim config to my dotfiles. Here is the current directory structure of my ~/.config/nvim:

dotdrop – Save your dotfiles once, deploy them everywhere

There are so many solutions to this problem. dotdrop works really well. GNU Stow is a thing too. I use dotdrop because it supports the concept of profiles for different machines, and you can use Jinja2 template logic in your configs.

I use Dotdrop, it fits for me, but there are a lot of different options. At Chezmoi site there is a good comparison table.

Nice! For dotfiles and stuff, I use a helpful program called dotdrop, which allows you to create configs for different machines and all your dotfiles will just be magically symlinked to where you want them.

I like dotdrop. Mainly because I have multiple machines and dotdrop can do templating, so I can more granularly control what goes into each of my machines.

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.

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
