fish-nvm is a Node.js version manager for the fish shell.

• Zero configuration, pure-fish, binary management
• No subshells, no dependencies, no nonsense
• Tab completions included out of the box

fisher add jorgebucaran/fish-nvm

Download nvm.fish to your fish configuration directory to install (or upgrade) nvm manually. If nvm is not immediately available after the download, you can launch a new session, or replace the current session with a new one.

set -q XDG_CONFIG_HOME; or set XDG_CONFIG_HOME ~/.config

for i in {conf.d,functions,completions}
  curl https://git.io/$i.nvm.fish --create-dirs -sLo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/$i/nvm.fish
end

To uninstall nvm from your system run this code.

rm -f $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/{conf.d,functions,completions}/nvm.fish && emit nvm_uninstall

• fish 2.2+
• curl 7.10.3+

This will download the latest Node.js release tarball from the official mirror, extract it to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvm and modify your $PATH so it can be used right away. Learn more about the Node.js release schedule here.

nvm use latest

This will download and use the latest LTS (long-term support) Node.js release.

nvm use lts

You can create a .nvmrc file in the root of your project (or any parent directory) and run nvm to use the version contained in it. We'll attempt to find the nearest .nvmrc file, traversing the directory tree from the current working directory upwards.

echo 10 >.nvmrc
nvm

Running nvm in any subdirectory of a directory with an .nvmrc file will read the Node.js version from that file. Similarly, running nvm use <version> will update that .nvmrc file with the specified version.

Want to narrow that down a bit? You can use a regular expression to refine the output.

nvm ls '^8.[4-6]'
