Uninstalling NVM Completely #1543

Hello!

I've installed NVM with the script provided:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash

If I am understanding everything correctly the only thing this file seems to have done is added 3 lines to the very bottom of my .bashrc and created a folder called .nvm in my ~ folder.

In this same ~ folder I have a handful of my development sites (in a separate folder) do I need to do anything special to completely remove nvm or will removing the ~/.nvm and the bottom 3 lines of .bashrc be enough?

Does the install.sh script make any other modifications to files elsewhere after that specific command (IE do I have to worry about anything being modified in my ~/apps folder where my sites are hosted).

Thanks!

(duplicate of #298)

No, all you need to do is remove $NVM_DIR (~/.nvm is the default), and the relevant 2 lines in your profile file (but you also can leave those behind, since they're guarded by a file existence check).

Great, thanks! - No files outside of the $NVM_DIR are modified at all? Seems I did that right then.

@zackeryfretty one of your profile files will be modified by the install script, but nothing else should be.
