npm install nvm-info

nvm-info

A small CLI that shows how much space each nvm-installed Node version takes, plus what global packages live under it. The currently active Node version is highlighted with a marker and cyan text in the table output.

Quick start

Run it once:

``bash npx -y nvm-info@latest`

Or install globally:

`bash npm i -g nvm-info nvm-info`

`How it works`

nvm-info scans your $NVM_DIR/versions/node directory. For each installed Node.js version it:

1. Calculates total disk usage 2. Reads global packages fromlib/node_modules3. Renders a sortable table in the terminal

`Requirements`

- Node.js >= 18-nvminstalled and configured -NVM_DIR available in your shell

Typical NVM_DIR setup:

`bash export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"`

`Install from source`

`bash git clone https://github.com/this-self/nvm-info.git cd nvm-info npm install npm run build npm link`

`Development`

`bash npm install npm run dev npm run dev:watch npm run build npm run format`
