Show HN: Atom Shell Version Management À La “n”

11 years ago

I wrote a little tool for myself, because I got annoyed about keeping my atom-shell version up-to-date and having to run ~/Downloads/atom-shell-v0.20.5-darwin-x64/Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/Atom app/ to execute my applications. Since other people might have the same problem, I thought I'd share it with you guys.

ASV (https://github.com/omnidan/asv) let's you easily manage your atom-shell versions and allows you to run atom-shell with an atoms command.

It works like n (nodejs version management) and m (mongodb version management) and can be installed using npm: npm install -g asv After installation, simply run asv latest and it'll download the latest atom-shell version, then run atoms to run it.

Works on linux and OS X. Please let me know what you think!
