Answer 1

I tried many solutions for this and nothing worked the way I wanted, so I wrote my own:

ZSH function to auto-switch to correct Node version

As far as I know, this is the only one that meets all the following criteria:

• guarantees you are always on the right version by searching up the directory tree to find the closest .nvmrc (just like nvm use);
• can handle any valid .nvmrc format;
• clearly warns you if no installed version satisfies the .nvmrc,
• assumes you want default if there is no .nvmrc anywhere up the tree;
• is completely silent and fast if you are already on the correct Node version.
