nvm.fish is a Node.js version manager written entirely in Fish shell script, letting users install, switch, and manage multiple Node.js versions. It supports .nvmrc and .node-version files, tab completion, and XDG Base Directory conventions.

Use cases

  • manage multiple node.js versions in fish shell
  • switch node versions per project with .nvmrc
  • install latest or lts node release from the command line
  • set a default node version for new shells
  • auto-install default npm packages with each node install

When to choose

  • you use fish shell and want a pure-fish nvm alternative
  • you need .nvmrc/.node-version support with tab completion
  • you want a lightweight version manager with no setup

When to avoid

  • you use bash, zsh, or another POSIX shell
  • you need the full nvm-sh feature set or POSIX compatibility
