User Story
As a user, I want to be able to enforce that all sub-folders in a given repository use Python X.X.X, but I don't want to require users to install Python X.X.X when they run asdf install in the root of the repository: I only want installation to happen when users run asdf install in a project sub-folder.
This feature is critical for working in multi-langauge repositories: it prevents users from having to download a huge toolchain whenever they are working on a specific project.
Describe the proposed solution
Introduce two features:
noinstall
Following a version in a .tool-versions file, a user can add noinstall:
golangci-lint 1.59.1 noinstall
This line is functionally skipped when running asdf install
inherit
In place of a version in a .tool-versions file, a user can specify inherit:
golangci-lint inherit
Since this doesn't have the noinstall flag, the parent version would be installed.
Describe similar asdf features and why they are not sufficient
asdf doesn't have this functionality today.
Describe other workarounds you've considered
Creating separate linters that look at .tool-versions file. This is clumsy.
