A simple terminal UI for git commands that streamlines complex workflows without the overhead of heavy GUIs.
The industry-standard POSIX-compliant version manager for seamless Node.js environment control.
nvm (Node Version Manager) is a highly flexible, POSIX-compliant bash script designed to manage multiple active versions of Node.js on a single system. In the 2026 landscape, despite the rise of Rust-based alternatives like fnm and Volta, nvm remains the definitive standard for enterprise developers due to its sheer stability and compatibility with legacy environments. It operates by modifying the PATH variable dynamically, allowing developers to switch between Node.js versions on a per-shell basis. This architecture ensures that projects requiring different Node.js runtimes (e.g., a legacy v14 application vs. a modern v22 microservice) can coexist without version conflicts. nvm also provides robust support for installing Node.js from source, managing architecture-specific binaries (x64, arm64), and automating version selection through .nvmrc files. Its role in modern DevOps is foundational, often used in CI/CD pipeline scripts to ensure environment parity between local development and production runners. As a shell-level abstraction, it avoids the complexities of system-wide global installs, providing a sandboxed-like experience for JavaScript runtimes.
Allows users to reference 'lts/*' or 'lts/hydrogen' rather than specific point releases, facilitating automated updates within a specific major version branch.

Supports installing and switching between x64 and arm64 versions of Node.js on Apple Silicon or hybrid Linux environments.
Deep shell integration that allows tools to automatically detect and prompt for the correct Node version upon directory entry.
Provides the 'nvm install -s' flag to build Node.js from source when binaries are not available for a specific architecture.
The '--reinstall-packages-from' flag allows users to migrate global npm packages automatically when installing a new Node version.
Supports NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR environment variable to download binaries from private or localized mirrors.
Users can create arbitrary names (e.g., 'nvm alias production 18.15.0') for specific environment targets.
A developer needs to work on a legacy API (Node 14) and a new frontend (Node 22) simultaneously.
