nvm.fish is a Fish shell implementation of Node Version Manager (NVM). It allows you to easily install and manage multiple active Node.js versions.
This is particularly useful for developers working on projects with different Node.js version requirements. Instead of manually installing and switching between Node.js versions, nvm.fish provides a simple command-line interface for installing, uninstalling, and switching between Node.js versions.

Unlike the Bash-based nvm, nvm.fish is designed to be fully compatible with the Fish shell syntax. It uses Fish functions and variables to provide a seamless user experience. It simplifies the process of managing Node.js versions and makes it easy to test your code against different Node.js environments. This helps in ensuring compatibility and preventing version-related issues.
Common usages include setting a project specific `.nvmrc` file for consistent Node.js runtime version and allowing contributors to easily use the correct environment when developing. When you enter a directory containing that file, `nvm.fish` will automatically switch to the version specified in the file.

Requires Fish shell to be installed. The Fish configuration files need to be setup correctly to properly load nvm.fish on shell initialization. The nvm.fish command must be sourced in your Fish configuration file (typically `~/.config/fish/config.fish`).

To install nvm.fish, you can typically use a package manager like `fisher` or `oh-my-fish`. Alternatively, you can clone the repository and manually source the `nvm.fish` file in your Fish configuration.

The `` argument can be a specific version number (e.g., `16.0.0`), `latest` to install the latest version, `lts/*` to install the most recent LTS version, or an alias like `default`.
