I like this solution and I've been using git from the beginning until I decided I needed to have multiple versions of Julia around at the same time, with the ability to open each version whenever I choose.
My still rough implementation of this is to rename *julia* to other names based on version numbers [julia (master)] ✈ chefs 0.3.11 ..... kevin 0.4-rc1 ..... wanda 0.4-rc4 ..... frida 0.4-0 ..... julius So this is straightforward to do the hard way (which is how I'm doing it now) by simply building each julia version from scratch. How would this work with using git versus tar files?
