It's for npm, not nvm. It shows the installed packages in a project, the version that is installed and the latest available version which is handy. You can install/update packages too but don't see much use for that since the CLI is there but the displaying of info is decent.

Okay now I get it. So it's a GUI to see what's in use by a given project. I mistakenly thought it was a tool for managing node installations.

I guess the git analogy would be something like gitk?

Yeah sort of. I wouldn't use it to replace npm CLI or anything (even though you can), but like I said being able to glance at installed modules and see the different versions (installed vs latest) is a nice thing to have.
