What is AVM?

The project analyzes the files in your directory as soon as you open your terminal, and automatically changes the version of your language via your version manager, according to the configuration file in the current directory.

AVM in action when opening the terminal

Just install the CLI and you don't have to worry about your versions anymore! 😇

Language versions can be identified from the following files:

Node: .nvmrc, .node-version, package.json
Go: go.mod
Rust: rust-toolchain
Ruby: .rbenv, .rvmrc, .ruby-version, .ruby-gemset
All: Dockerfile

🎉 AVM has been successfully published in early 2025!
Regular updates will introduce new features and resolve issues.
