About:
anyenv is a lightweight version manager that simplifies the installation and management of multiple runtime environment managers. It acts as a dispatcher, allowing users to seamlessly switch between tools like rbenv, pyenv, and nodenv without conflicts. This provides a unified and efficient workflow for developers handling diverse project requirements.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple language runtimes (Ruby, Python, Node.js, etc.)
  • Lazy loading of environment managers for faster shell startup
  • Simple command-line interface for initialization and switching
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive architecture
Use Cases:
  • Managing disparate development environments on a single machine
  • Streamlining setup processes for full-stack developers
  • Reducing shell initialization overhead in complex workflows
Alternatives:
  • asdf-vm – asdf is a single-tool plugin system, whereas anyenv acts as a dispatcher for existing dedicated managers.
  • direnv – direnv manages environment variables per directory, while anyenv manages the runtime versions themselves.
