FFmpeg Version Manager

A command-line tool to manage multiple versions of FFmpeg, enabling seamless switching between different versions for development and testing.

Features

• Switch between pre-defined FFmpeg versions
• Pre-built binaries available for download (see Releases)
• Build from source for custom versions
• Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows)

Note: On Linux only works if you are using bash & ~/.bashrc, help me to improve this to more envs

Note: In runtime requires $HOME for bash or %USERPROFILE% for Windows (it is usually always available; this is only to advise if you are using scripts or any other env)
