Aliases and Channels

Give versions memorable names and understand offline channel pins.

Aliases#

fvm alias work 3.44.0
fvm use work
fvm alias list
fvm unalias work

Aliases are stored in $FVM_HOME/config.json. They can point to versions, channels, or other aliases. Cycles and chains longer than eight hops are rejected. An alias is machine-local, so a committed concrete version is the simplest team pin.

Channels#

fvm install stable
fvm use stable
fvm list-remote --channel beta

Installation records the concrete release that a channel resolves to. Subsequent execution reads that local mapping without requesting the latest release. Run fvm install stable again to refresh it.

Stable and beta have current archive releases. Historical dev entries may be available. Main/master is not an archive-installable channel in this manager.
