Code Review

This pull request adds installation instructions for asdf to the README.md file. While adding more installation options is great, one of the provided commands is incorrect. I've suggested a correction to use the current, standard asdf command. Additionally, for user transparency and security, I've recommended clarifying that the asdf plugin is community-maintained.

[sonwr]

Thanks for the review — great catches. I updated both points in 7405c01:

• Clarified that the asdf plugin is community-maintained.
• Replaced deprecated asdf set --home with asdf global for global installation.

I also resolved both review threads.

Code Review

This pull request adds installation instructions for asdf. The change itself is straightforward, but it introduces a reference to a third-party, community-maintained plugin. My review includes a high-severity security comment recommending the addition of an explicit warning to mitigate potential supply chain risks associated with promoting a non-official plugin within a googleworkspace project.

[sonwr]

Thanks — agreed on the supply-chain risk framing. I added an explicit warning block in README (commit 0ecda9d) clarifying that asdf-gws is community-maintained, not officially vetted/supported by Google, and should be reviewed before use.

I also resolved the thread.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new installation option using asdf to the README.md. The instructions are clear and provide a good starting point for users who prefer this version manager. I have one suggestion to improve the reproducibility of the environment by pinning to a specific version instead of using a floating 'latest' tag, which can prevent unexpected breakages for users.

Code Review

This pull request adds instructions for installing the gws CLI using asdf. The changes are in the README.md file. My review focuses on the correctness and clarity of the provided commands. I've identified an issue where the instructions can be misleading if a user wants to install a specific version, and I've suggested a change to make the instructions clearer and more robust by separating the use cases for installing the latest versus a specific version.

[sonwr]

Great point — fixed in follow-up commit 152f1c9.\n\nI split the asdf section into two explicit paths:\n- install/pin latest\n- install/pin a specific version\n\nThis avoids implying that should always set when a user intends to pin a specific version.

[sonwr]

Quick clarification (my previous comment lost inline code formatting): the ambiguity was around asdf global gws $(asdf latest gws) being interpreted as the default even when the user intends to pin a specific version. The README now separates latest vs specific-version flows explicitly in 152f1c9.

Code Review

This pull request adds installation instructions for asdf to the README.md file. The new section includes a warning about the community-maintained nature of the plugin and provides clear commands for installation. The changes are well-documented and I found no issues that meet the high or critical severity threshold requested for this review.
