# Interactively Switch asdf Package Versions
|
|
|
|
I use [`asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/) to manage versions for a couple different
|
|
languages that I use across projects. I mostly use it for `node` and `ruby`.
|
|
|
|
When setting up a new project or needing to set the version for an existing
|
|
one, I run some version of:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ asdf local nodejs <some-version-here>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
But before I can do that, I need to figure out what versions I have installed
|
|
(`asdf list nodejs`), so I end up running two commands and having to remember
|
|
the nuances of the sub-commands for each.
|
|
|
|
I decided to make this small interaction easier by making it _interactive_ with
|
|
[`fzf`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
asdf local nodejs $(
|
|
asdf list nodejs | fzf | xargs | sed 's/^\*//'
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This grabs the list of installed `nodejs` versions, turns it into an
|
|
interactive list with `fzf`, and then passes my selection to `asdf local` to
|
|
set that version.
|
|
|
|
I can substitute `ruby` for `nodejs` to do the same thing for Ruby versions.
