ln: /usr/local/opt/nvm/current: File exists

I get this message when I open iTerm on my Mac. I open multiple terminal at the same time, so maybe they all try to ln at the same time?

Gotta love race conditions. That's entirely likely - thanks, we'll look into it.

@koenpunt It occurs to me that since nvm usage is shell-specific, the current symlink is kind of meaningless. Perhaps it was a mistake to add it?

[koenpunt]

Could be, I never voted for it anyway.. But I'm currently on vacation. The only symlinks that can be of use are those of aliases.

#514 adds an env var, NVM_SYMLINK_CURRENT, that when set, and set to anything but "true", will not create the symlink.

In the near future, I'll change the default behavior of this env var from "unset" => "true" to "unset" => "false".

[ljharb]

This will be fixed in the next release; specifically by disabling the symlink behavior. It can be opted into via setting the NVM_SYMLINK_CURRENT environment variable to "true".
