asdf Global Versions 🌏

Spend a bit of time with asdf, and you might see an error like this:

$ npm install
asdf: No version set for command npm
you might want to add one of the following in your .tool-versions file:

nodejs 10.15.3
nodejs 8.9.1

The project I'm trying to set up via npm install doesn't specify a Node version in .tool-versions, and since I have multiple Nodes on my machine, asdf isn't sure which to use.

I don't want to edit .tool-versions in this project; I'd rather asdf had a global default.

Here's how I made that happen:

$ asdf global node 10.15.3
