 The contents of a `.nvmrc` file **must** be the `<version>` (as described by `nvm --help`) followed by a newline. No trailing spaces are allowed, and the trailing newline is required.
 
+### .node-version
+
+For a little compatability with other node version managers, nvm will also sniff for `.node-version` files. They're the same as `.nmvrc`, they just share a common name.

+They'll be loaded after `.nvmrc`, and can contain the same values as `.nvmrc`.

 ### Deeper Shell Integration
 
 You can use [`avn`](https://github.com/wbyoung/avn) to deeply integrate into your shell and automatically invoke `nvm` when changing directories. `avn` is **not** supported by the `nvm` maintainers. Please [report issues to the `avn` team](https://github.com/wbyoung/avn/issues/new).
