Tired of manually switching node versions when changing projects? Alias for the rescue
Raw
switch-node-version
# Add those aliases to your favorite alias file
# nvm is required
alias get-required-node="node -pe \"try { require('./package.json').engines.node.replace(/[>=]/g, ''); } catch (e) { }\""
alias use-required-node='[[ `get-required-node` != undefined ]] && nvm use `get-required-node` || echo "No package.json here"'
