Fish NVM: Seamless NVM integration for the Fish shell

Fish NVM is a lightweight, minimalist package that integrates the Node Version Manager (NVM) into the Fish shell, enabling smoother Node.js workflow for Fish users.

Key Features

Fish NVM is designed to perform the bare necessities required to harmonize NVM with the Fish shell. Here are its core features:

• Augments Fish with nvm and nvm_find_nvmrc functions.
• Automatically detects and loads the Node.js version specified in the .nvmrc file in the current directory or any parent directory.
• If the required Node.js version specified in the .nvmrc file isn't installed yet, it triggers the installation process.
• Closer directory traversal: Fish NVM searches for the .nvmrc file in the current directory first, then in the parent directory, and so on, until it reaches the root directory.

Getting Started

Before you install Fish NVM, make sure NVM is installed on your system. If you haven't installed it yet, you can do so using Homebrew:

brew install nvm

Once NVM is ready, install the Fish NVM package using Fisher:

fisher install aohorodnyk/fish-autovenv

Fish NVM relies on the Bass package for optimum performance. Install it with Fisher:

fisher install edc/bass

Configuration

Fish NVM is designed to work out of the box. However, you can customize its behavior by setting the following environment variables:

• nvmrc_enable (default: yes): Enables or disables Fish NVM. Set to no to disable.
• nvmrc_announce (default: yes): Enables or disables the announcement of the Node.js version change. Set to no to disable.

Usage

After successful installation, Fish NVM operates automatically. Whenever you navigate into a directory containing a .nvmrc file (either in the current directory or any parent directory), Fish NVM auto-detects and loads the required version of Node.js. If the required version isn't installed, Fish NVM initiates the installation process.
