  Pronounced "MEEZ ahn plahs"
  

• mise/About

  • mise (pronounced "meez") or mise-en-place is a development environment setup tool.
    • name refers to French culinary phrase roughly translating to "setup" or "put in place"

  • Key Ideas for mise

    • Declar/at/ive configuration

      • The main idea of mise is that mise/Config/mise.toml can let either a project or a user declare the
      • mise.toml describes consistent way to setup and interact with projects across languages
      • mise.toml is a file type used by the mise cli that lets developers globally declare or individual projects locally declare the programming languages, the package manager packages, the environment variables, and the common tasks that need to be run

    • Package/Manager/Meta

      • Mise integrates with multiple Meta Package Managers or Universal Installers. In that sense, it's a meta-meta-package-manager (LOL).

  • The Three Core Jobs to be Done or Main Use Cases for mise

    • mise/JTBD/1 - Dev Tool Installer

      • Job/to be Done 1: as a Declar/at/ive mise Dev Tool installer of Programming Languages and Package Managers packages
        • installs versions of NodeJS, Py, tf as well as any package from those ecosystems
        • specify versions of tools per project or globally
        • mise supports hundreds of dev tools
        • Person/Shunsuke Suzuki created aqua as a more secure Meta Package Manager; mise uses it as a default backend for verified OSS binaries
        • mise/JTBD/1 - Dev Tool Installer/Card/How do I upgrade my global mise Tools

          • How do I upgrade my global mise Tools

            • mise mise/JTBD/1 - Dev Tool Installer
              • How do I upgrade my global mise/Tools? Card
                • Just use mise/upgrade.
                • My Notes
                  • AFAIK there's no dedicated global upgrade subcommand that just upgrades global mise tools, but there might be a way to call a command only on a particular (global) mise/Config/mise.toml
                  • Initially I thought you had to be in a directory that didn't have a local mise/Config/mise.toml to upgrade just the global tools, but then I asked mise/Q/Will calling mise upgrade in a directory that has a local mise.toml upgrade global mise Tools? and realized that it does actually upgrade global dependencies even if you are in a directory with a local mise config.
    • mise/JTBD/2 - Environment Manager

      • mise Job/to be Done 2: as a Declar/at/ive environment manager - mise/Environment
        • manages EnvVars for project or globally
        • lets you specify configuration like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID that may differ between projects. It can also be used to automatically activate a Python virtualenv when entering projects too.
    • mise/JTBD/3 - Task Runner

      • mise Job/to be Done 3: as a task runner to share common tasks within a project
