How did you install nvm?
From the install script in the readme
What steps did you perform?
- Installed nvm
- Added a .nvmrc file to our projects
- Installed the required versions of Node with nvm for each of our projects
- We have been using nvm for a long time now with little to no issue across our Windows and MacOS environments
What happened?
Nvm and the node versions installed as expected, however running the nvm current command returns nothing/blank in a Windows 10 & Git Bash environment. It even returns blank in the nvm debug results posted above.
Also nvm list and nvm ls don’t notate the currently selected version of Node from the list of installed versions.
What did you expect to happen?
Similar to how it operates in our MacOS environments, I would expect nvm current to show the currently selected Node version and nvm list and nvm ls to notate the currently selected Node version from the list of installed versions.
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
Not that I can see. The .bashrc file alters the NVM_DIR variable and exports it but that is all.

interesting, thanks. i’ll see what’s achievable there, since it’d have to be done only for git bash
Indeed, versions shouldn’t be hardcoded like that.
I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet, but it’s clearly a Windows-specific bug that needs fixing. If someone beats me to it, I’d love to review a PR.
The output from the requested command is:
Thanks, that’s helpful. What about
nvm_tree_contains_path ${NVM_DIR} $(command which node) ; echo $??
