Manage Version Aliases

Use alias (or kv) to give an installed Zig version a memorable name. The target version must already be installed; exact versions and shorthand are accepted.

zvm alias work 0.13.0
zvm alias play .14
zvm use work
zvm run play version

Aliases work anywhere ZVM accepts a version, including install, use, run, and rm. Assigning an existing name updates it.

Inspect and remove aliases

zvm alias              # list every alias
zvm alias work         # print one alias
zvm alias --delete work
zvm alias -d work      # short form
zvm alias --clear      # delete every alias

ZVM stores aliases as a JSON object in ~/.zvm/aliases.json, or in $ZVM_PATH/aliases.json when you use a custom ZVM directory.
