Usage

Create a .node-version in your project directory:

Anytime you cd into your project, the specified version will be used:

$ nvm version
v12.13.0

Note: If you specify a version that is not installed on your system, then you will get a message like this:

You need to run "nvm install 12.13.0" to install it before using it.
