Feature request: Add easier shell integration with a subcommand that can be used in eval statement
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
There's so many multiple ways to enable asdf for different shells.
For example I'm interested in replacing nodenv
with asdf
in the company I'm now working.
In our project readme we have now the following steps:
Add the following line to your shell's rc/profile file and restart your shell:
eval "$(nodenv init -)"
Which is much cleaner than checking if people are using bash/zsh/fish separately and providing multiple installation steps like we need with asdf.
Describe the proposed solution
Add init
subcommand to asdf which prints out the paths or commands that can be added for corresponding shell.
This is how nodenv
works:
Example output using fish shell
$ nodenv init
# Load nodenv automatically by appending
# the following to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:
status --is-interactive; and source (nodenv init -|psub)
Example output using bash:
$ nodenv init
# Load nodenv automatically by appending
# the following to ~/.bash_profile:
eval "$(nodenv init -)"
Describe similar asdf
features and why they are not sufficient
The third section in getting started page is sufficient but this would make the adoption little bit smoother.
Describe other workarounds you've considered
Pointing people to asdf getting started page from our documentation.
@jthegedus @Stratus3D do either (or both) of you have interest in this? I don't want to implement this if there is no desire for it.
Tackling this would make asdf easier to package for distros. Related to #1343, #666.
