Bob is a cross-platform command-line version manager for Neovim, written in Rust. It lets users install, switch between, and build Neovim versions from any system.

Use cases

  • install and switch between neovim versions
  • manage multiple neovim versions on windows and linux
  • build neovim from source at a specific commit
  • rollback neovim to a stable version after a bad update
  • keep nightly and stable neovim side by side

When to choose

  • you use Neovim across multiple machines or operating systems
  • you need to test plugins against nightly, stable, and older Neovim versions
  • you want a simple CLI to pin or switch your editor version

When to avoid

  • you only ever use one Neovim version installed via your system package manager
  • you need a version manager for editors other than Neovim
  • you want a GUI for managing editor versions
