Drush Version Manager 2.x

Purpose

Drush version control system, to manage a variety of Drush versions and provide the ability to switch to specific versions at any time.

This project was inspired by NVM, and was originally written in Bash. It was rewritten in Go in late-2016 and has been improving since.

It came about when attempting to use multiple Drush versions with the use of CI tooling. It has become more important now as Drupal has essentially abandoned the use of drush make.

Requirements

Drush version manager requires composer, and nothing more.

• composer

Installation

There are three ways to install DVM, but if you're at all familiar with Golang these are very standardised shipping methods.

Option 1: Like any other Go binary

1. run go get -u github.com/fubarhouse/dvm
2. Use like any other Go binary.

Option 2: Download a precompiled binary!

1. Download one of the pre-compiled binaries.
2. Copy to location in $PATH environment variable.

Option 3: - As an API for use in your Go project

1. run go get -u github.com/fubarhouse/dvm
2. Build your own Go binary using the API's from the packages downloaded.

Configuration

Configurations are loaded via Viper, an example is below.
