recursive upward search about asdf HOT 2 CLOSED

$HOME/.tool-versions is not a specific "global" implementation, we already recursively look up directories and typically find $HOME/.tool-versions as most people work within their $HOME dir.

My solution to this exact problem is to put a .tool-versions file in a shared work project directory. Eg:

$HOME
     /dev
         /dotfiles
     /work
         .tool-versions
         /project1
         /project2

so when working in project1 or project2 the $HOME/work/.tool-versions is used.

Other options include .gitignore .tool-versions files from your global settings if it appears under a work directory.

Since this is already how asdf works, and there are solutions to this particular scenario, I am going to close this issue.

@jthegedus you're right. I'm not sure what I did wrong yesterday. Thank you. I used asdf current yesterday to check too, but somehow I missed it used the one I expected 🤷‍♂️
