Difference between two sources to install nvm on Ubuntu?

I'm installing a new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine and also need to install nvm. When searching how to get nvm on my system I find two different ways:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash

and

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
(or with a different version, whatever is the latest)

I assume they will both do the same, but I want to make sure I'm not installing anything wrong on this system.

Is one of these sources more recommendable than the other?

Use the one provided in the official documentation here:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

I believe both are "safe", as creationix appears to be one of the original maintainers. I would however always go for the source from the official repository.
