@SureshPradhana Can you describe the exact behavior you expect from this feature? do you want to list all versions that are available to install in a long ass list?

[SureshPradhana]

Yes, like nvm ls-remote, Bob installs and switches between versions. Easily seeing available versions simplifies installation and use, akin to nvm ls-remote listing all downloadable versions.

The arrow indicates the version in use. Green indicates the stable version, while blue indicates downloaded versions.

@SureshPradhana Hello i pushed a new PR for this issue, test and tell me if it works how u wanted.

1. Simply run bob ls-remote

[SureshPradhana]

@MordechaiHadad I tested the new PR, and it works as expected. It’s now easier to know what to install. I think it would be better with spaces and arrows on the used version, but it's readable and simple as is.

Let me know if you need help with this PR or anything else in the repo; I have some free time.

Not sure about an arrow, but I can add an indicator for stable release. What do you mean by spaces though?

[SureshPradhana]

space before the versions

[MordechaiHadad]

@SureshPradhana updated PR

[SureshPradhana]

the listed versions have extra line breaks.

[MordechaiHadad]

i am confused by what you meant by adding spaces then.

You meant horizontal padding?

[SureshPradhana]

Oh, my bad. By the way, horizontal padding doesn't make much of a difference, but vertical padding is taking up a lot of space here.

[MordechaiHadad]

Yes I agree, lol.

[MordechaiHadad]

@SureshPradhana better now i hope.

[SureshPradhana]

@MordechaiHadad Yes, it looks better now
