FVM Explained: How Flutter Selects the Right Version ๐Ÿš€

Welcome to Day 2 of my #100DaysOfFlutter series!
Today, weโ€™re diving into something every Flutter dev should know: managing multiple Flutter versions across projects.

โ“ Why FVM?
If you work on multiple Flutter projects โ€” especially in a team โ€” you've probably run into version mismatch issues. One project might require Flutter 3.10, while another still depends on 3.7.

This is where FVM (Flutter Version Management) comes in. It's a simple tool that helps you manage and use different Flutter versions per project.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Whatโ€™s the difference?
flutter run # Uses the globally installed Flutter SDK

fvm flutter run # Uses the version defined for that specific project

Using FVM ensures:
โœ… You're running the right Flutter version per project
โœ… Everyone on your team stays in sync
โœ… You avoid "it works on my machine" problems
โœ… Your CI/CD pipelines stay stable

๐Ÿ’ก In short:
FVM keeps your Flutter projects clean, consistent, and version-safe.
Itโ€™s an essential tool for any serious Flutter dev.

Have you tried FVM yet? Let me know your experience โ€” or feel free to ask if you need help getting started.
