nvmrc-gen is a CLI utility that generates a .nvmrc file in a Node project for use with nvm. Its primary purpose is for use in CI/CD pipelines, but it can also be useful for developers generating .nvmrc files for their own use.
Add nvmrc-gen to your PATH or copy it directly where it is intended to be ran, then run it there. It uses the working directory of the shell it is ran from.

Clone this repository and run go build -ldflags="-w -s" -gcflags=all=-l -o /path/to/output/nvmrc-gen to build for your architecture.
To build for other architectures, run env GOOS=<OS> GOARCH=<arch> go build -ldflags="-w -s" -gcflags=all=-l -o /path/to/output/nvmrc-gen.
The following builds are available in each release:

Feel free to contribute in any way you like. This was my first project in Go, and it shows.
