NUÑO's STUPID NODE VERSION MANAGER
==================================
## About
## The problem
The problem: Current node version managers, such as [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/) are too slow. In particular, they add half a second to a few seconds when loaded with bash.
Current node version managers, such as [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/) are too slow. In particular, they add half a second to a few seconds when loaded with bash.
The solution: Write a stupidly simple node version manager which is significantly simpler, hackier, less featureful, and less secure, but much faster.
You can test this by removing these lines from your `.bashrc`:
Use this software at your own risk. In particular, consider reading the source code.
```
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
```
or just by noticing that [nvm.sh](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/nvm.sh) has 4k+ lines.
## The solution
Write a stupidly simple node version manager which is significantly simpler, hackier, less featureful, and less secure, but much faster.
## Usage
Use this software at your own risk. In particular, strongly consider reading the 20 lines of source code to understand what it does.
Read the `nsnvm.sh` file, then execute it like:
```
./nsvnm.sh 18.12.1
```
Make sure that you pass it one argument and that it is a correct node version number: there is no error checking.
