mise
SHA-256mise is a single CLI that manages dev tools, environment variables, and project tasks through a mise.toml file. Unlike asdf, it runs tools directly without shims; unlike direnv, it also handles tool versions and tasks. Simple, fast, and team-friendly.

One CLI to manage dev tools, environment variables, and tasks—clear and fast without shims.
Core Features
- One file to rule them all: configure tools, environment variables, and tasks in mise.toml
- No shims: uses real binary paths, faster and cleaner than asdf
- Auto-load environment variables per directory, including .env files
- Built-in task runner with dependency support
- Install and switch versions for hundreds of tools (Node, Python, Go, Terraform, etc.)
What It Can't Do
- •mise uses real paths, not shims—some scripts or IDEs expecting asdf-style shims may need path adjustments
- •Don't blindly reuse another project's mise.toml; versions may be incompatible, test with your own stack
- •Tool downloads may slow down or fail in restricted networks; configure mirrors to match your environment
- •Windows native support is limited; the official recommendation is to use WSL for full functionality
Use Cases
- Devs and teams who need to pin exact versions of Node, Python, or Go across projects without conflicts
- Developers juggling multiple projects with different env vars and tools, wanting a single source of truth
Detailed Introduction
mise (mise-en-place) prepares your development environment before every command runs. It keeps project tools, environment variables, and task definitions in one mise.toml file, ensuring new shells, checkouts, and CI jobs all start from the same setup. You can install and switch between hundreds of dev tools (Node, Python, CMake, Terraform, etc.), load per-directory environment variables (including .env files), and define reusable build/test/deploy tasks. Compared to asdf, mise executes tools directly without shim overhead; compared to direnv, it also handles tool versions and tasks, not just environment variables. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL), integrates with all major shells, and is MIT-licensed.
