Cool and eclectic version manager for any language

Eclectica unifies management of any language under one cohesive and minimalistic interface. Like pyenv for Python, rbenv for Ruby, nvm Node.js and etc.

But instead of having all of those, you have only one binary

Usage

After you install eclectica, ec program will be available in your terminal, I used to have a nice site with fancy animation explaning how to used it, but help output will do too -

$ ec --help

Usage:
  ec [command] [flags] [<language>@<version>]

Examples:
  Install specifc, say, node version
  $ ec node@6.4.0

  Or choose from already installed Go versions
  $ ec go

  Same way to choose, plus install available Rust versions
  $ ec -r rust

Available Commands:
  completion        generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  install           same as "ec [<language>@<version>]"
  ls                list installed language versions
  remove-everything removes everything related to eclectica
  rm                remove language version
  version           print version of eclectica

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for ec

Use "ec [command] --help" for more information about a command
