history
Project history and usage
sbtenv is a shell-oriented sbt version manager. It installs sbt distributions beneath ~/.sbtenv/versions, exposes commands through ~/.sbtenv/bin, and uses shell initialization and shims to select the active toolchain.
Project history
sbtenv began as a small shell-based environment manager for sbt. Its changelog records an initial public release in January 2014, followed by installation improvements, version-selection fixes, shell support, and recipes tracking sbt releases.
Adoption history
The project added recipes for successive sbt releases and gained Bash, Zsh, and later fish-shell support. Its official repository also identifies Homebrew packaging as part of the project's ecosystem.
How it is used
Users clone or install sbtenv, add its bin directory to PATH, evaluate sbtenv init from their shell startup file, and install individual sbt versions with sbtenv install. Manual installations can be extracted into ~/.sbtenv/versions.
Why package nerds care
sbtenv applies the familiar *env shim model to sbt. It matters to package and toolchain enthusiasts because it separates the system package used to install sbtenv from the multiple sbt distributions managed beneath ~/.sbtenv/versions.
