nvm: nvm ls hangs at time or gets into a weird state
On Linux:
When I do nvm ls, it will hang or never return to a terminal prompt and will keep printing “$” but not allow command to be entered.
In video I am unble to type anything once the terminal prompt “$”, what you see is my hitting “enter” key multiple times to get out of this state. Press CTRL+C doesn’t help.

How did you install nvm?
readme install script
What steps did you perform?
typed nvm ls
What happened?
hangs as time, other times only prints “$” (prompt) but I cannot type. Pressing CTRL+C doesn’t help.
What did you expect to happen?
execute the command correctly.
Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?
YES, but in the past nvm worked fined and nothing was changed in defined path.
If you are having installation issues, or getting “N/A”, what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

No - v0.39.7 is the same version you reported the problem in, so that suggests it was something else on your machine. Closing for now, but happy to reopen if needed.
Hi I tried “TERM=dumb nvm ls” several times and it doesn’t hang.
No hanging with
nvm_ls.This has been a problem for a long while, I finally got annoyed to file a report.
