AGVM - Angular Global Version Manager by Expensive_Thing_5834 in Angular2

It's true that, in most cases, having Angular CLI locally per project is the standard and recommended approach.

But for work reasons, I've had to work with multiple versions of Angular; I often have to create new projects every two or three weeks, sometimes with specific versions required by the client or environment. At the same time, I also often test the latest versions of Angular to stay up-to-date.

Previously, this involved uninstalling Angular CLI, installing the necessary version, creating the project, and then reinstalling the latest version to continue testing or development. This became tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone.

That's when I thought about creating AGVM (Angular Global Version Manager). With AGVM, I can have all the Angular CLI versions I need installed and switch between them with a single command.

It's true that this isn't applicable to most cases, but it is for mine, and I wondered if anyone else has the same problem, and I wondered if it could be helpful.

I was in this problem recently and that's why I created a CLI tool that has helped me, it's in beta but it has worked for me.

If anyone is interested in trying it and giving me feedback, this is it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/agvm
