Nvmermind NPM | npm.io

😒 nvmermind

Uninstall old versions of Node.js (as installed by nvm) while keeping the latest of each major version.

If you have a stinking bonepile of old Node.js versions in your ~/.nvm folder, this script takes out the trash.

Install

You could install this, but maybe better to...

Usage

Run:

npx nvmermind

nvmermind will keep the latest installed version of each major it finds.

Example: if you have v14.16.1 and v14.17.0 installed, it will remove v14.16.1 and keep v14.17.0.

nvmermind will show you:

what would be removed
what will be kept
how much disk space you'll recover

nvmermind will confirm with you (a human) before blasting anything away.

API

There's an "API", sure. You can require('nvmermind'), but I don't feel like documenting it. ~~Maybe next week? There are some docstrings, which is better than nothing.~~

New in v1.0.0: There are types now; look at those if you want. I'm still not gonna document it.

Usage Notes

Removal uses nvm uninstall, which does its thing safely and methodically (read: slowly).
nvmermind accepts no options, arguments, flags, or anything else. There is no man page and no --help.
This should work on Windows insofar as nvm works on Windows.
