For the `zsh` shell the easiest way is to use [oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh) with the `nvm` [plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/nvm) activated.\n\nWe use the following oh-my-zsh plugins: `plugins=(composer git nvm npm)` configured in `~/.zshrc`. For automatic node version switching, place this line in `~/.zshrc` just below the plugins line: `NVM_AUTOLOAD=1`. Now whenever you enter a directory through the shell, if it finds a `.nvmrc` file, it will switch to the specified node version.\n\n## Private Local Overlays\n\nThis repo supports a split between tracked public templates and ignored local private files.\n\nTracked files:\n\n- `AGENTS.md`\n- `AGENTS.local.example.md`\n- `.claude/napkin.example.md`\n- `.env.example`\n- `bin/bootstrap-private`\n\nIgnored files:\n\n- `AGENTS.local.md`\n- `.ai/`\n- `.claude/napkin.md`\n- `.env.local`\n- `.private/`\n\nRecommended workflow:\n\n1. Put your real private files in a separate private repo, for example `nova-blocks-private`.\n2. Store any of these files there when needed:\n   - `AGENTS.local.md`\n   - `.ai/`\n   - `.claude/napkin.md`\n   - `.env.local`\n3. After cloning `nova-blocks`, configure the private repo once:\n\n```bash\ngit config --local novablocks.privateRepo git@github.com:\u003cyou\u003e/nova-blocks-private.git\n```\n\n4. Hydrate the local private files:\n\n```bash\nbin/bootstrap-private\n```\n\nUseful variants:\n\n```bash\n# replace existing local private files from the private source\nbin/bootstrap-private --force\n\n# symlink the files instead of copying them\nbin/bootstrap-private --link\n\n# use an existing local checkout of your private repo\nbin/bootstrap-private --source-dir /path/to/nova-blocks-private\n```\n\nUse `AGENTS.local.md` for shared private instructions, `.ai/` for vendor-neutral plans/research notes, and `.claude/napkin.md` for tool-specific distilled working memory.\n\nThe bootstrap script syncs `AGENTS.local.md`, `.ai/`, `.claude/napkin.md`, and `.env.local` when those files exist in the private source.\n\n## License\n\nNova Blocks source code is released under the [GNU GPL v3 license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html) or later.
