commands:
gdvm use stable — Sets the system-wide
default version of Godot to the latest stable version

version for the current folder to the latest stable
version with C# support, using a

.godot files in your OS with
~/.gdvm/bin/godot.exe to automatically use
either the system-wide version of Godot or the pinned
version for the project directory to open that project
file.project.godot file and use the appropriate
version if it's installed, for projects that don't have
a pinned version.
gdvm run — Runs the default version of
Godot for the current folder or the system-wide default
version if the current folder is not pinned

godot_console — For Windows users, same as
gdvm run, but with the console window open

3.5 with C# support

without C# support

versions of Godot
