How to setup multiple flutter versions on mac?

I want to install both flutter v1.22.6 and v2.0.5 on my mac.

currently I have v1.22.6 set up on my mac and have path for it set aswell.

I want a setup where if I enter the command flutter doctor that corresponds to v1.22.6 and when I enter the command flutter2 doctor that corresponds to v2.0.5

  • You need to create alias

    1. Navigate to your home directory:

      cd ~

    2. Open up .bash_profile using vi:

      vi .bash_profile or vim .bash_profile

    3. Add an alias (press i):

      alias flutter2="~/place_of_folder/flutter2/bin/flutter"

    4. Save the file (press Escape, type :wq, and hit Enter)

    5. Restart Terminal
