`give` ('git-versioned environment', name courtesy of [@AvianFlu](https://github.com/AvianFlu)) is a git-based node.js/io.js version manager.

It allows you to install anything git can checkout from either node's or io.js's

repos:

  * tags: `give install node v0.6.10`

  * commits: `give install iojs 3f43b1c039727e12c7a27fb31010aa309a4a35d8`

  * branches: `give install iojs master`

It's also very fast - instead of doing `git checkout` it uses `git archive`

which is very fast on local repositories.

## Installation

    npm install -g give

### Getting started

```

give install iojs v1.3.0 # will install version v1.3.0 of io.js

give use iojs v1.3.0     # will use version v1.3.0 of io.js (drops you into a subshell)

^D                       # will quit to original shell

```
