# README (nvm-sh/nvm): the snippet the installer appends to the shell profile

# sets NVM_DIR to "${HOME}/.nvm", or "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm" when that

# variable is set — the second is [configHome], which is that variable rather

# than a hard-coded ~/.config. Both locations are listed and the consumer keeps

# the one that exists.

# Two things under NVM_DIR are written by the user rather than by nvm:

# * default-packages — "add the package names, one per line, to the file

# $NVM_DIR/default-packages" and nvm installs them into every new version.

# * alias/ — one file per alias, each holding a version or another alias.

# Everything else is nvm's own git checkout and the installed node versions.

# nvm-windows is a separate project with a different layout, hence platforms.

# No machine_lines: an alias names a node version and default-packages names
