Managing Multiple Flutter SDK Versions with a Simple Bash Script

As Flutter developers, we often need to switch between different SDK versions for various projects. After repeatedly facing this challenge, I created a simple bash script to manage multiple Flutter versions on Linux.

The Problem

Working with different Flutter projects often means dealing with version compatibility issues. Some projects might require older Flutter versions, while others need the latest features. Manually downloading, extracting, and switching between these SDKs can be time-consuming and error-prone.

My Solution: A Flutter Version Manager Script

I've created a bash script that simplifies managing multiple Flutter versions on Linux. Here's what it can do:

• Install specific Flutter versions

• Switch between installed versions

• List all installed versions

• Remove versions you no longer need

How to Use It

1. Save the script as flutter_vm.sh and make it executable with chmod +x flutter_vm.sh

2. Install a specific Flutter version:

1. Switch to an installed version:

1. List all installed versions:

1. Remove an installed version:

The Script

Here's the script for those who want to use it:

Windows Users?

This script works on Linux, but I'm curious how Windows developers handle this problem. If you have a PowerShell or batch script solution for managing Flutter versions on Windows, please share it in the comments!

I believe in collaborative problem-solving, so I'd love to see your approaches to this common challenge.
