Install nvm on a clean macOS will fail as below:

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash

=> xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.
Failed to clone nvm repo. Please report this!

It'll also open a dialog to ask about installing Xcode with command line tools or not:
1

The problem is because the path /usr/bin/git is actually the built-in Xcode, so nvm can find git successfully and assume git is installed and working.

I'm not sure how this can be addressed; typically the first thing you always have to do (manually) when setting up a new Mac is install the Xcode command line tools.

I haven't found a method to suppress the GUI dialog asking to install Xcode command line tools, otherwise we can at least escape from that failure without providing useful info :(

I think that installing those prior to doing anything else - including installing nvm - is just something Mac devs need to know how to do.

Maybe I can send a PR to just mention that README.md?

I suppose, but i still think it’s something that a Mac dev just needs to know, and I’m not sure why they’d be learning it at the point of installing nvm.

I'll like to mention that also because we can't properly handle it, we don't know if anyone would install nvm first ;)
