nevermind

a node version manager

A play on nvm. Inspired by both nvm-sh and nvm-windows, which were written in shell and go, respectively.

Installation (WIP)

Currently in development.

Requirements:

1. Docker
2. VSCode

Getting Started:

1. Use/Open in VSCode devcontainer (.devcontainer directory) extension
2. Run the go package download prompts

You might need to build the executable:

go build -o ~/.nevermind/bin ./nvm-shim

Or with go generate:

go generate ./...

Make sure this directory is in your PATH (perhaps via .bashrc):

export PATH="$HOME/.nevermind/bin:$PATH"

go run ./nvm install 16.0.0

go run ./nvm use 16.0.0

This should have created a ~/.nevermind/config.json file pointing to the version you've set to use, and installed that version to ~/.nevermind/node/.

Run with DEBUG=1 to output debug logs:

DEBUG=1 go run ./nvm install 16.0.0

If this is all set up, you should be able to run:

node -v

Remaining tasks

• github actions for building and generating releases
  • no idea if this is what I want
• install script (bash?)
  • I want a way to automatically build nvm-shim, update PATH, create binary symlinks on installation
• test local npm installs in a project

nvm tasks:

• write nvm install script for windows (extracting zip at minimum)
• tests

nvm-shim tasks:

• tests
