rbenv is a Ruby version manager and shell environment manager designed to install, switch between, and manage multiple versions of the Ruby programming language. It functions as a project runtime isolator and an extensible versioning framework that ensures the correct Ruby binaries are executed based on the current context. The system uses a shim-based command interception model to resolve the active version before delegating execution to the binary. It allows for locking specific Ruby versions and environment variables to individual directories, ensuring project environment isolation. The ar
rbenv is a Ruby version manager and shell shim environment manager. It allows for the installation of multiple Ruby versions on a single machine and coordinates the selection of the active version based on the current directory or shell session. The tool functions as an extensible command line framework that intercepts executable calls using shell shims. These shims route requests to the selected language version, ensuring environment isolation by storing binaries in independent directories. The system includes capabilities for language runtime administration, including the ability to downlo
pyenv is a Python version manager and runtime orchestrator that allows for the installation and switching of multiple Python versions on a single machine without affecting the system installation. It functions as a shell-based version controller that manages binaries through shims to redirect executable calls to specific versions. The tool is a plugin-extensible system, allowing users to add custom subcommands and logic via shell script plugins. This architecture enables the extension of the command line interface through a dedicated plugins directory. It provides capabilities for side-by-si
nvm is a Node.js version manager implemented as a POSIX bash script. It serves as a shell environment manager and runtime orchestrator for installing, switching, and managing multiple versions of the Node.js runtime on POSIX systems. The tool allows for the automation of runtime switching by reading configuration files in project directories to select the required version. It supports the management of long-term support releases and the migration of global packages between different installed versions of the runtime. The project covers broader capabilities including runtime management throug
pyenv-win is a version manager for Windows that enables the installation and switching of multiple Python versions without affecting the system global installation.
