Installing and using asdf
The cli asdf tool is a version manager that allows you to manage multiple runtime versions of various programming languages and tools. It provides a unified interface to install and switch between versions of languages like Python, Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Go, and more, all from a single command-line interface.
Here’s what it does:
Version Management: It allows you to install and manage different versions of various programming languages and tools, switching between them as needed for different projects.
Global and Local Versions: You can set global versions of tools for your system, or define specific versions for individual projects. The tool can automatically detect which version to use based on your project directory.
Plugin-Based: asdf uses a plugin system to support different languages and tools. You can add or remove plugins to extend its functionality, supporting a wide range of programming environments.
Environment Management: By managing different versions of runtimes, asdf helps ensure that your development environment is consistent across different projects and systems.
It’s especially useful for developers who work with multiple languages and tools across different projects and need to easily switch between them.
