Comment by David Rhoderick on "5 Node Version Managers Compared – Which is Right for You?"

Hey David, thank you for reading the article. I appreciate it!

You're right. We can use the .nvmrc file to declare the Node version for specific projects. And I'm mentioning it in the article.

You're also right that we can configure shell run run nvm use on cd. However, the reason why I decided not to include it in the article is that it is not maintained by the NVM team. To me, it looks more like a community attempt to fix the initial problem in the same way as nvm-widows doing it.

That's right, N does work with Fish as all of the other managers in this list except NVM by default.

Do you use it with .nvmrc? For me, the best part about N is the ability to detect the Node versions just based on the engines section of the package.json file.
