add a command to switch to the most recent local version #110

Open travisstaloch opened 10 months ago

i would guess that i run $ zigup master maybe twice a month. its much more common that i switch between 0.11 and my most recent local version. to do so i need to run these commands:

$ zigup 0.11.0 # this is nice. one command to switch to 0.11

# later on when i want to switch back i need to run two commands, and paste the version into the second.

$ zigup list
0.11.0
0.12.0-dev.2341+92211135f

$ zigup 0.12.0-dev.2341+92211135f

this isn't bad but would be nice if there were a single command i could run. the only reason i bring it up is that its my most common usage of zigup. i wonder if this is possible?

this is what i'd like to be able to do.

$ zigup local-master # don't download anything. switch to local version 0.12.0-dev.2341+92211135f

this is my current 1 liner for switching to most recent local version.

alias zigup-latest="zigup $(zigup list 2>&1 | tail -1)"

seems to work but i don't know if zigup list is sorted in any way so i'm not sure if this is reliable.

What about zigup latest? Since it's not associated with git maybe that makes it a bit more intuitive that it won't fetch the latest version first?

travisstaloch commented 9 months ago

Yeah zigup latest sounds great. I don't really care too much about the command name, hopefully it ends up fairly easy to type.

Something i noticed about my zigup-latest bash alias is that i need to sort the output from zigup list since i noticed my latest zig version was appearing at the top of the list.

I'd be willing to work on this feature, but I haven't looked at this project recently and would appreciate any guidance you might have related to how it should work.
