asdf

Initializes asdf, installing it using git if not installed yet. Also, bypasses the shims if you're using the direnv plugin, as suggested by the plugin pro-tips.

Settings

The path of ASDF_DIR, where asdf is installed, is checked among the usual directories created by Homebrew or Pacman, or the default ${HOME}/.asdf. You can define ASDF_DIR in your .zshrc before initializing this module to customize its path:

ASDF_DIR=/path/to/asdf_dir

FAQ

Do do I install the direnv plugin to work with this module?

1. Run these commands:

   asdf plugin-add direnv
   asdf direnv setup --no-touch-rc-file --version latest
   

2. Make sure your .zshrc does not contain the following line:

   source "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/asdf-direnv/zshrc"
   

How to configure asdf to work with the direnv installed with my system package manager?

To use your system's direnv instead of direnv installed via asdf, follow these steps:

1. Keep the asdf direnv plugin installed. You can install it with:

   asdf plugin-add direnv
   

2. Uninstall any direnv installed with asdf:

   asdf uninstall direnv
   

3. Make sure the ~/.config/direnv/lib/use_asdf.sh script exists. You can generate it with:

   asdf direnv setup --no-touch-rc-file --version system
   

4. Make sure your direnv .envrc files have use asdf.
5. Remove zmodule asdf from .zimrc or any asdf initialization from .zshrc.
6. Make sure you're initializing direnv during shell start-up, preferably with zmodule dirvenv in your .zimrc.

Basically you're using direnv to activate asdf this way. Since you're using the system's direnv, that does not depend on asdf to work, it's a much simpler setup.
