Default packages #39
Description
Hello and thanks for this very useful project!
Nvm has a feature to declare default packages when installing a new version.
If you have a list of default packages you want installed every time you install a new version, we support that too
Just add the package names, one per line, to the file $NVM_DIR/default-packages.
You can add anything npm would accept as a package argument on the command line.
# $BUM_DIR/default-packages

I haven't found any documentation on this, so I assumed it is not available, but It would be very nice to support this too ❤️

ah that's interesting, I can support this in my next free time :)
That means the global packages needs to be scoped to specific version?

I believe nvm post-install the global package list whenever a new version of node is installed
here the small doc about this feature on nvm
