Discord Version Manager

A really crappy script that manages your Discord versions!

Why?

Why not? Managing Discord branches and versions on Linux is boring, why not have a tool do it for you?

How?

Installing DVM is easy:

• git clone https://github.com/aurieh/dvm.sh && cd dvm.sh
• ./dvm.sh update_path (if this doesn't work, try adding $HOME/.dvm/sym to your PATH manually)
• dvm install canary (you can replace canary with stable and ptb, too!)
• dvm default canary
• discord will then launch Discord Canary

There are several other commands you can use:

• dvm run <branch> will launch specific branch of Discord (canary, ptb or stable)
• dvm update <branch> will update the branch. Depending on your system, you might need to relink using dvm default <branch>
• dvm uninstall <branch> removes a specific branch
• dvm clean <branch> clears cache, local storage and any leftovers
• dvm desktop <branch> generates a desktop file
• dvm list lists all latest available versions and branches

You can also take snapshots of Discord branches (it'll also include client mods):

• dvm snapshot create <branch> <name>
• dvm snapshot apply <branch> <name>
• dvm snapshot remove <branch> <name>

Can I use this?

Probably. This script only depends on curl, bash and GNU coreutils.

OS/Kernel	DVM?
Linux	Yep!
BSD	Yep!*
macOS	Nope!**
Windows	Nope!

*DVM supports BSD just fine, but Discord doesn't. Because of that, it is likely that you'll have to use the compatibility layer. **DVM supports downloading OSX binaries, but it doesn't support installing them

Roadmap

• Script clean-up
• Properly document subcommand usage in _dvm_usage
• source bash and ZSH support
• Components (beautifuldiscord, mydiscord etc...)
  • Component file repatching after update
• Integrity checking
