# Woof

The version manager to end all version managers

STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT

## Why?

- Your OS's package manager doesn't contain the latest (or multiple) `$language` versions

- You want an OS-independent way to install and switch between `$language` versions

- You are tired of installing and configuring version managers (or version manager plugins) for every single language

- More repeatable and reproducible builds

## Features

- _Just Fucking Works_

- Optionally _configurationless_

- Clean Bash code

  - Favors builtins and native Bash features (over external commands)

- Supports 35 tools on at least `x86_64` (see [roadmap](./docs/roadmap.md) and [languages](./docs/languages.md) for details)

- Compatible with [.tool-versions](https://asdf-vm.com/manage/configuration.html#tool-versions), nvm's [.nvmrc](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#nvmrc) and read things from popular version managers like `rvm` and `pyenv`

- Fast

- Uses no symlinks or shims

## Preview (v0.5.0)

![Demo](./assets/demo.gif)

## Prerequisites

External utilities are _only_ used due to necessity or efficiency. The following are used

- cURL

- jq 1.6

- POSIX `mv`, `cat`, `cp`, `uname`, `stty`,, etc.

- sort (TODO: phase out -V GNUism)

- Optional: `pv`

## Installation

Use [Basalt](https://github.com/hyperupcall/basalt), a Bash package manager, to install this project globally

```sh

basalt global add hyperupcall/woof

```
