Managing different project runtimes and tool versions can be a mess when you are working across different code bases that have different dependencies. Before [`asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/), you had to manage the different versions of tools via disparate version managers for the different tools, languages, and frameworks you make use of.

But with `asdf`, you can manage all of your different runtimes and tools in one place with one CLI. In addition, it has a plugin system that allows you to define specific versions of various tools that you use and therefore centralizes teams on a single version for each tool they use.

This week, we rolled out our own `depot` CLI plugin for the `asdf` version manager. We got the feedback earlier in the week that it would be helpful if we had a plugin to allow folks using `asdf` to not have to leave their existing method for managing tool versions. So, we got everything configured in an open-source repo, [`depot/asdf-depo`](https://github.com/depot/asdf-depot), to make our CLI available as a plugin 🎉

To install the plugin, you can run the following command:

```bash
asdf plugin add depot https://github.com/depot/asdf-depot.git
```

If you want to list all the versions available for `depot`, you can run the following command:

```bash
asdf list-all depot
```

To install a specific version of `depot`, you can run the following command:

```bash
asdf install depot 1.2.0
```

Lastly, if you wish to install a specific version of Depot globally, you can run the following command:

```bash
asdf global depot latest
```

We are excited to keep adding new ways developers want to interact with Depot to get faster Docker image builds. We hope that you find this helpful if you're a user of `asdf`, and we look forward to hearing your feedback. You can contribute to this plugin or open issues over on our [`depot/asdf-depo` repo](https://github.com/depot/asdf-depot).

If you have another tool that we could integrate Depot into to make your life a bit easier, please [reach out and let us know](mailto:contact@depot.dev).
