asdf
Manage all your runtime versions with one tool!

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.
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.
