/ About /

asdf is a CLI tool that lets developers manage multiple runtime versions (such as Node.js, Ruby, Python, and more) through a single unified interface. It uses a plugin ecosystem to support a wide variety of languages and tools, and stores version configuration in a single shareable `.tool-versions` file per project. It also supports backward compatibility with existing version files from tools like nvm and rbenv.

/ How it works /

asdf uses a plugin system to manage installations of various tools and reads a `.tool-versions` file in the project directory to automatically select the correct runtime version.

/ Who it's for /

software developers managing multiple language runtimes across projects
