Set a Default Node Version with nvm
As I've shown you in the past, nvm an excellent utility for switching between Node.js versions. Whether your host machine or CI, building and testing your apps on different Node versions is a necessity. I've recently found a few nvm commands that I found really useful during local development.
To set a default node version on your machine, without touching your system's install, you can use:
nvm alias default [version_here]
To automatically switch to the node version that best suits a project's package.json file, simply type:
nvm use
I've always loved nvm but I still catch myself manually changing versions when I could automate that process with a few commands!
