Ended up going with rtx - thanks for the suggestion!
Comment on Tool to manage CLI tools

I think what you are looking for can be found in rtx or asdf, I have used both for what you are describing, even those same tools hah. I’m currently using rtx more than asdf though for newer projects. I have been tempted by nix though, might take that plunge soon.

I recently started using rtx and I’m a big fan.
Works for a long list of tools and makes it very easy to remove lots of install commands and just do “rtx install” in any directory to install and switch to right versions of a set of tools. Also works great on CI using same configuration files.

Rtx on/off meme template;
“Off” is a greyscale picture of metacat struggling with manual dependencies. Pissibly combined with “Isn’t there a better way?” from ye olde shopping channel ads.
“On” Is a HDR image of a smiling metacat having no such issue. In the background a rainbow can be seen over a flowery garden, in which people are holding hands with rabbits frolicking in the grass.
Yeah yeah, I know, I’ll go to bed now…
