Historique du projet

The GitHub API reports the riywo/ndenv repository was created on June 20, 2013. The README says almost all of the code came from rbenv, making ndenv part of the wave of language runtime managers that copied rbenv's shim-and-version-file model into other ecosystems.

The project's own README marks ndenv deprecated, recommends nodenv, and says the repository is not maintained actively. Homebrew also marks the formula deprecated and lists August 24, 2026 as the disable date, with nodenv as the recommended replacement.

Historique d'adoption

ndenv's practical adoption path was narrow but clear: developers who liked rbenv's automatic local version switching for Ruby could use a similar workflow for Node before nodenv, fnm, mise, asdf-nodejs, and other tools became common.

On July 1, 2026, Homebrew Formulae listed only 61 ndenv installs in its 365-day analytics window. That small number matches the upstream deprecation note and the ecosystem shift toward maintained replacements.

Modes d'utilisation

The old workflow was to install ndenv, initialize shell integration, install node-build as the installer plugin, run commands such as `ndenv install v0.12.0`, and commit `.node-version` so entering a project directory selected the expected runtime.

The broader `.node-version` convention outlived ndenv. Independent compatibility research lists many tools that read `.node-version`, while noting that the file has no single formal standard.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

ndenv matters less as a package to install than as a fossil in the version-manager lineage: rbenv semantics, Node/io.js era naming, node-build plugin dependency, and a clean migration story to nodenv.
