# `qwer` - a fast asdf replacement

### NOTE: This project is under heavy development and not very polished at the moment. All core features are working and I'm using it as my daily driver, but still: Use at your own risk! 

`qwer` is a version manager compatible with all existing `asdf`-plugins. It brings a few notable improvements over `asdf`:

* **No shims.** `qwer` hooks into your shell and sets your `PATH` and environment automatically to bring installed tools into your path. **Note that only `zsh` is currently well-tested!**

* **Multiple plugin shortlist registries.** You can add your own plugin registries and define priorities between them. *Under development*

* **Shortcuts for quicker installations.** The `use` command can be utilised to fuzzy-find plugins, versions and install/set them globally and locally at the same time. *Under development*

## Installation and usage

There's no prebuilt binaries available at the moment. You can try out `qwer` by cloning the repository and running the following command:

```bash

cargo install --locked --path .

```

Now, add the following to your shell profile (depending on which shell you're using):

```bash

eval "$(qwer hook zsh)"

```

You can now install tools using `qwer` as you would with `asdf`:

```bash

qwer plugin add nodejs

qwer install nodejs 18.11.0

qwer global nodejs 18.11.0

```
