So, it's the only plugin you need to validate manually, and the `.plugin-versions` file will be the source of truth for all other asdf plugins. Check the [example](#example) for more details.\n\n\u003c!-- omit in toc --\u003e\n# Contents\n\n- [Overview](#overview)\n- [Why?](#why)\n- [Dependencies](#dependencies)\n- [Compatibility](#compatibility)\n- [Install](#install)\n- [Example](#example)\n- [Parameters](#parameters)\n- [Contributing](#contributing)\n- [License](#license)\n\n# Why?\n\n[Asdf is a great universal version manager](https://tech.aabouzaid.com/2022/01/asdf-vm-a-universal-version-manager-tools.html).\nHowever, it lacks a secure and declarative method to manage its plugins. For example, you cannot pin a specific asdf plugin version, which means you will be easily hacked if one of the asdf plugins you use is compromised!\n\n[Many exist requests asking to fix that](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/issues/1577), but no solution has been proposed in `asdf` upstream yet! (Last check: Jan 2024)\n\nHence, `asdf-plugin-manager` fills the gap to manage asdf plugins securely and declaratively via `.plugin-versions` file.\n\n# Dependencies\n\n- [asdf-vm](https://asdf-vm.com/): Tested with `v0.12.0` but probably will work with older versions.\n- `bash`, `cat`, `grep`, `tr`, `cut`, `column`, `sed`, `git`: Generic utilities.\n- `ASDF_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PLUGIN_VERSIONS_FILENAME`: Set the default name for the file with the list of managed plugins.\n  Default: `.plugin-versions`.\n\n# Compatibility\n\nSince the release of ASDF `v0.16.0` there have been a number of [breaking changes](https://asdf-vm.com/guide/upgrading-to-v0-16.html) as it was [completely rewritten](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/releases/tag/v0.16.0). Use the table below to determine which version of `asdf-plugin-manager` to use.\n\n| ASDF Version           | Compatible Plugin Manager Version |\n|------------------------|-----------------------------------|\n| v0.15.0 (or older)     | v1.4.0 (or older)                 |\n| v0.16.0 (or newer)     | v1.5.0 (or newer)                 |\n\n# Install\n\n\u003e **Note**\n\u003e\n\u003e Remember, `asdf-plugin-manager` is a plugin for asdf and also the actual CLI which actually used to interact with `.plugin-versions` file.\n\nFirst, setup `asdf-plugin-manager` as asdf plugin in asdf:\n\n\u003c!-- x-release-please-start-version --\u003e\n```shell\nasdf plugin add asdf-plugin-manager https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-plugin-manager.git\n# Pin the asdf-plugin-manager version using git tag or even better using git hash which is immutable.\nasdf plugin update asdf-plugin-manager v1.5.0\n```\n\u003c!-- x-release-please-end --\u003e\n\nThen, install the actual `asdf-plugin-manager` CLI:\n\n\u003c!-- x-release-please-start-version --\u003e\n```shell\n# Install specific version\nasdf install asdf-plugin-manager 1.5.0\n\n# Set the plugin version (on your ~/.tool-versions file)\nasdf set asdf-plugin-manager 1.5.0\n\n# Now asdf-plugin-manager command is available\nasdf-plugin-manager version\n```\n\u003c!-- x-release-please-end --\u003e\n\n# Example\n\nUsing `asdf-plugin-manager`, the `.plugin-versions` file will be the source of truth for asdf plugins.\nIts syntax is as follows:\n\n```\n# plugin-name  git-url                                               git-ref (hash, tag, or branch)\ngolang         https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-golang.git     d8dec15\nterraform      https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-hashicorp.git  c048526\n```\n\nYou can also export the currently added plugins to be managed by `asdf-plugin-manager`:\n\n```shell\nasdf-plugin-manager export \u003e .plugin-versions\n```\n\nFrom now on, you can use `.plugin-versions` to manage asdf plugins.\n\n```shell\n# Add all plugins according to .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager add-all\n```\n\nOr\n\n```shell\n# Add named plugin according to .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager add golang\n```\n\n# Parameters\n\nThe following are all `asdf-plugin-manager` parameters:\n\n```\nasdf-plugin-manager help                 : Print this help message\nasdf-plugin-manager version              : Print asdf-plugin-manager current version\nasdf-plugin-manager export               : List currently installed plugins to be used in .plugin-versions\nasdf-plugin-manager list                 : List plugins in .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager add \u003cplugin-name\u003e    : Add named plugin according to .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager add-all              : Add all plugins according to .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager update \u003cplugin-name\u003e : Update named plugin to latest in the system and in the .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager update-all           : Update all plugins to latest in the system and in the .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager remove \u003cplugin-name\u003e : Remove named plugin according to .plugin-versions file\nasdf-plugin-manager remove-all           : Remove all plugins according to .plugin-versions file\n```\n\n# Contributing\n\nContributions of any kind are welcome!
