## What it is
A Zsh plugin that automatically installs, updates, and loads nvm (Node Version Manager) in your shell. It wraps nvm with extra commands like upgrade and revert, and also works with bash via manual installation.

## Use cases
- install nvm automatically in zsh
- keep nvm up to date without losing node versions
- manage node version manager through my dotfiles
- upgrade nvm with a single command
- revert a broken nvm upgrade
- load nvm as a zsh plugin with oh-my-zsh or antigen

## When to choose
- you use zsh and want nvm set up automatically from your dotfiles
- you want lazy loading of nvm for faster shell startup
- you want easy nvm upgrade and revert commands

## When to avoid
- you don't use zsh or bash
- you prefer managing nvm manually or with another version manager like fnm or volta
