The command "asdf local ${name} ${version}" is likely using the asdf version manager tool to set a specific version of a programming language or tool as the local version for a specific project or directory.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:
-
asdf
: Refers to the asdf version manager tool, which is commonly used to manage multiple versions of programming languages or tools on a single system. -
local
: The specific sub-command being used in this case. It instructs asdf to set the specified version as the local version for the current project or directory. Setting a local version allows you to control the version used specifically within that project or directory, separate from the globally configured version. -
${name}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the programming language or tool you want to set the local version for. It should be replaced with the actual name, for example, "python" or "nodejs". -
${version}
: A placeholder for the version number or tag of the programming language or tool. You would replace it with the specific version you want to set as the local version for your project.
By running this command and substituting the appropriate language/tool name and version, you can ensure that your project uses the desired version locally, even if other versions are installed globally on your system.
