ctxver

Ctxver is a command-line tool designed to manage and switch between different versions of the .NET SDK (Software Development Kit) on a user's system. It simplifies the process of installing, updating, and switching between multiple versions of the .NET SDK, which is particularly useful for developers who need to work on projects that require different SDK versions.

The tool is part of the .NET Core SDK and is included with the installation of the .NET SDK. It provides a straightforward interface for managing SDK versions, making it easier to maintain a consistent development environment across different projects.

Ctxver operates by allowing users to specify the version of the .NET SDK they wish to use. It then modifies the system's PATH environment variable to point to the specified SDK version, ensuring that the correct version is used when running .NET commands. This is particularly useful in scenarios where multiple projects require different SDK versions.

The tool supports a range of commands to manage SDK versions, including listing available versions, installing new versions, and setting the default version. It also provides options for global and local version management, allowing users to specify different SDK versions for different projects.

Ctxver is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a versatile tool for developers working across different operating systems. It is designed to be user-friendly, with clear and concise commands that make it easy to manage SDK versions efficiently.
