Ask HN: Generic Replacement for Rbenv, NVM, GVM?

1 points by Stratus3D 10y ago ↗ HN

I have quite a few version managers installed. Each with their own quirks. I really like rbenv but I wish I had a tool that provided that sort of functionality in a generic way that I could use for all the various languages whose versions I have to juggle on a daily basis.

Does such a tool exist?

I found https://github.com/direnv/direnv but I would prefer something that's written in Bash.

There is https://github.com/HashNuke/asdf but it is rather minimal

Thanks for the link. That does look really minimal but almost exactly what I need. I'll give it a try. Perhaps I should start out by writing a Lua plugin for it.
