git-based node.js version manager
npm install givegive ('git-versioned environment', name courtesy of @AvianFlu) is a git-based node.js/io.js version manager.
It allows you to install anything git can checkout from either node's or io.js's
repos:
* tags: give install node v0.6.10
* commits: give install iojs 3f43b1c039727e12c7a27fb31010aa309a4a35d8
* branches: give install iojs master
It's also very fast - instead of doing git checkout it uses git archive
which is very fast on local repositories.
npm install -g give
```
give install iojs v1.3.0 # will install version v1.3.0 of io.js
give use iojs v1.3.0 # will use version v1.3.0 of io.js (drops you into a subshell)
^D # will quit to original shell
