[Q & A] How can I install different versions for a specific tool in the same project?

Question

How can I install and use different versions for a specific tool version in the same project?

For example, workflow-a requires node@20 but other workflow can use node@22.

Background of the question

Sometimes CI workflow requires different tool versions such as node.
In this case, I want to use a command alias for a specific command.
For example,

  - name: nodejs/[email protected] # for specific ci
  	command: node20
  - name: nodejs/[email protected] # default

There is a feature for aliasing for package name but it seems not a command.

How about changing aqua.yaml?

AQUA_CONFIG=foo/aqua.yaml node # for specific ci
node # default

That makes sense!
It's enough for my case. Thank you very much.

By the way, how about handling the same binary name case?
For example, original tool and forked version tool? If I need to use both versions in the same project during migration, etc.

How about this?

AQUA_CONFIG=fork/aqua.yaml foo # Run fork version
foo # Run original version

Ah, every execution time... I see. Thanks.
