Download binary for your OS from the [Releases](https://github.com/BeeeQueue/nvm-rust/releases)\n2. Rename the file to `nvm` and place it somewhere in your `$PATH`\n3. Add `path/to/nvm-home/shims` to your PATH _(TODO: document this)_\n4.

[`.tool-versions` from `asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html#local)\n\n### Default global packages\n\n\n## Development\n\nThis project uses [Task](https://taskfile.dev/installation) to execute various development commands.\n\ne.g. to run a command via a debug build, run:\n\n```shell\ntask run -- install 12\n```\n\nTo build a release artifact, run:\n\n```shell\ntask build:release\n```\n\nYou can find all the commands in the [Taskfile](./Taskfile.yml).\n\n## Publish new version\n\n1. Up version number in `Cargo.toml`\n2. Create tag on commit updating the version with said version (`vX.X.X`)\n3. Push both\n4. Wait for CI to create draft release for tag\n5. Edit draft release notes\n6.
