NUÑO's STUPID NODE VERSION MANAGER
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
You can test this by removing these lines from your `.bashrc`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
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. You can check node versions [here](https://nodejs.org/dist/index.json) or [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/)
