Welcome to the gvc wiki!

中文介绍

GVC stands for Geek's Valuable Collection or Geek's Valueless Crap, whatever you appreciate.

I was so tired of telling my chinese folks what-gvc-is in 2023. Most of the people were just so lazy to visit gvc-home and go through the Readme. Neither should anyone expect them to give gvc a real shot.

Now, here are some FAQs:

  1. Q: What's gvc?

    A: A cli tool. A supertool. A tool that helps you with your coding job.

  2. Q: Who will find gvc fantastic?

    A: Someone who works with different versions of compilers/vms, someone who wants to keep the versions updated, someone frequently reinstalls the OS, and someone who works on different machines.

  3. Q: How to use gvc?

    A: Just follow the "-h" or "--help" info.

  4. Q: Why doesn't it follow the "Keep It Simple Stupid" rule?

    A: You know, gvc is not a tool integrated into a certain OS. What gvc is trying to do is to bring things handy for your coding environment. Sure it will make you feel much of the convinience when you could finish the job in just one application.

  5. Q: Where can I get gvc and how to install?

    A: Github only. See release page. Windows/MacOS/Linux are supported. For installation, run the binary file without any args.

  6. Q: Why not using docker to manage versions of compilers or vms?

    A: To keep it lightweight. Those who keep their versions using docker now can save much disk usage.

  7. Q: Where does gvc put all the applications?

    A: See version.

  8. Q: How can I get a private access token for github/gitee?

    A: See config.
