Description
When using nightly occasionally updating to a new nightly will cause breakage of things. This then means you need to spend the time finding the last known date it worked with, which depending on how often you update could be a week or month ago when it last worked, then install that specific version and override the directory with the working version.
It would be nice from a usability standpoint to be able to just run a simple command to set the nightly to the last known working version installed on the computer.
