nvm.fish: Use a specific version of Node.js in the current shell.
$ nvm use ${node_version}
try on your machine

This command is used with a tool called "nvm" (Node Version Manager) to switch to a specific version of Node.js.

The command "nvm use" is used to instruct nvm to use a particular version of Node.js. The "${node_version}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual version number of Node.js you want to use.

For example, if you have installed Node.js versions 10.0.0, 12.0.0, and 14.0.0 using nvm, and you want to use version 12.0.0, you would run the command "nvm use 12.0.0".

Nvm will then switch your current active version of Node.js to the specified one, allowing you to work with that version of Node.js for your project.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
