MISE ACTIVATE
Initializes mise in the current shell session This should go into your shell's rc file or login shell. Otherwise, it will only take effect in the current session. (e.g. ~/.zshrc, ~/.zprofile, ~/.zshenv, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, ~/.config/fish/config.fish, or $PROFILE for powershell) Typically, this can be added with something like the following:
    echo 'eval "$(mise activate zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc However, this requires that "mise" is in your PATH. If it is not, you need to specify the full path like this:
    echo 'eval "$(/path/to/mise activate zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc Customize status output with `status` settings.

Usage: mise activate [OPTIONS] [<SHELL_TYPE>]

Options:

-q, --quiet
    Suppress non-error messages

-s, --shell <SHELL>
    Shell type to generate the script for

--no-hook-env
    Do not automatically call hook-env This can be helpful for debugging mise. If you run `eval "$(mise activate --no-hook-env)"`, then you can call `mise hook-env` manually which will output the env vars to stdout without actually modifying the environment. That way you can do things like `mise hook-env --trace` to get more information or just see the values that hook-env is outputting.

--shims
    Use shims instead of modifying PATH Effectively the same as:
        PATH="$HOME/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH" `mise activate --shims` does not support all the features of `mise activate`. See https://mise.en.dev/dev-tools/shims.html#shims-vs-path for more information

--status
    Show "mise: <TOOL>@<VERSION>" message when changing directories Arguments:

<SHELL_TYPE>
    Shell type to generate the script for

MISE TOOL-ALIAS

<ALIAS>
    The alias to show

MISE TOOL-ALIAS LS
List tool version aliases Shows the aliases that can be specified. These can come from user config or from plugins in `bin/list-aliases`. For user config, aliases are defined like the following in `~/.config/mise/config.toml`:
    [tool_alias.node.versions]
    lts = "22.0.0"

MISE BOOTSTRAP
[experimental] Set up a machine for the current config in one command Runs the bootstrap steps for the current config in order: 0. `[bootstrap.hooks.pre-packages]` — optional setup hook 1. `mise bootstrap packages install` — install missing
   `[bootstrap.packages]`
   then `[bootstrap.hooks.post-packages]` 2. `mise dotfiles apply` — apply dotfiles from `[dotfiles]`
   surrounded by `pre-dotfiles`/`post-dotfiles` hooks 3. `mise bootstrap macos-defaults apply` — write
   `[bootstrap.macos.defaults]` entries (macOS)
   surrounded by `pre-defaults`/`post-defaults` hooks 4. `mise bootstrap launchd apply` — install/load macOS LaunchAgents 5. `mise bootstrap systemd apply` — install/start systemd user services
   (Linux) 6. `mise bootstrap user apply` — set `[bootstrap.user].login_shell`
   (Unix)
   surrounded by `pre-user`/`post-user` hooks 7. `mise install` — install missing tools from `[tools]`
   surrounded by `pre-tools`/`post-tools` hooks 8. `mise run bootstrap` — if a task named `bootstrap` is defined 9. `[bootstrap.hooks.final]` — optional final hook The declarative steps converge — anything already in its desired state is skipped, so re-running is safe. The `bootstrap` task runs on every invocation; keep it idempotent. Use it for any project-specific setup that doesn't fit the declarative sections (cloning repos, seeding databases, etc.) — it runs with the installed tools on PATH.

Usage: mise bootstrap [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

MISE BOOTSTRAP PACKAGES INSTALL
Install missing system packages from `[bootstrap.packages]` Checks which configured packages are missing and installs them with the system package manager. This may elevate with sudo when not running as root (see the `system_packages.sudo` setting). Packages can also be given explicitly in `manager:package` form (e.g. `apk:zlib-dev`, `apt:curl`, `brew:jq`); they are installed whether or not they appear in the config. Explicit packages and `--manager` scope the run to packages only.

Usage: mise bootstrap packages install [OPTIONS] [<PACKAGE>] ...

Options:

-m, --manager <MANAGER>
    Only install packages for this manager, e.g. `apk`, `apt`, `brew`, `brew-cask`, or `mas`

Upgrade installed bootstrap packages from `[bootstrap.packages]` Refreshes package manager metadata and upgrades the configured packages that are already installed: apk/apt/dnf/pacman upgrade to the newest available version (apk, apt, and dnf honor a version pinned in config), brew pours the formula's current bottle and replaces the old keg, brew-cask installs the current cask artifact, and mas upgrades App Store apps. Packages that are not installed yet are skipped — use `mise bootstrap packages install` for those. Packages can also be given explicitly in `manager:package` form.

Usage: mise bootstrap packages upgrade [OPTIONS] [<PACKAGE>] ...

-m, --manager <MANAGER>
    Only upgrade packages for this manager, e.g. `apk`, `apt`, `brew`, `brew-cask`, or `mas`

-y, --yes
    Skip the confirmation prompt Arguments:

<PACKAGE>
    Packages in `manager:package` form; defaults to everything configured in [bootstrap.packages]

MISE BOOTSTRAP PACKAGES USE
Add bootstrap packages to [bootstrap.packages] and install them Like `mise use` for tools: writes `"manager:package" = "version"` entries to mise.toml (the local config by default, the global one with `-g`) and then installs whatever is missing. Versions are pinned with `@`: `mise bootstrap packages use apt:curl@8.5.0-2`. Without `@` (or with `@latest`) no pin is written. brew formulae and casks version through their names instead (for example `brew:postgresql@17`, `brew-cask:temurin@17`), where `@` is part of the Homebrew name rather than a mise version selector. mas uses numeric ADAM IDs and does not support pins.

MISE GENERATE TOOL-STUB
Generate a tool stub for HTTP-based tools This command generates tool stubs that can automatically download and execute tools from HTTP URLs. It can detect checksums, file sizes, and binary paths automatically by downloading and analyzing the tool. When generating stubs with platform-specific URLs, the command will append new platforms to existing stub files rather than overwriting them. This allows you to incrementally build cross-platform tool stubs.

Usage: mise generate tool-stub [OPTIONS] <OUTPUT>

Options:

-b, --bin <BIN>
    Binary path within the extracted archive If not specified and the archive is downloaded, will auto-detect the most likely binary

--bootstrap
    Wrap stub in a bootstrap script that installs mise if not already present When enabled, generates a bash script that: 1. Checks if mise is installed at the expected path 2. If not, downloads and installs mise using the embedded installer 3. Executes the tool stub using mise

--bootstrap-version <BOOTSTRAP_VERSION>
    Specify mise version for the bootstrap script By default, uses the latest version from the install script. Use this to pin to a specific version (e.g., "2025.1.0").

--fetch

--platform-url <PLATFORM_URL>
    Platform-specific URLs in the format platform:url or just url (auto-detect platform) When the output file already exists, new platforms will be appended to the existing platforms table. Existing platform URLs will be updated if specified again. If only a URL is provided (without platform:), the platform will be automatically detected from the URL filename. Examples: --platform-url linux-x64:https://... --platform-url https://nodejs.org/dist/v22.17.1/node-v22.17.1-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

--skip-download
    Skip downloading for checksum and binary path detection (faster but less informative)

MISE INSTALL
Install a tool version Installs a tool version to `~/.local/share/mise/installs/<TOOL>/<VERSION>` Installing alone will not activate the tools so they won't be in PATH. To install and/or activate in one command, use `mise use` which will create a `mise.toml` file in the current directory to activate this tool when inside the directory. Alternatively, run `mise exec <TOOL>@<VERSION> -- <COMMAND>` to execute a tool without creating config files. Tools will be installed in parallel. To disable, set `--jobs=1` or `MISE_JOBS=1`

MISE OCI BUILD
[experimental] Build an OCI image from the current mise.toml Each tool version becomes its own content-addressable OCI layer. Bumping a tool version only invalidates that tool's layer — other tools, the base image, and config are reused unchanged. The output directory conforms to the OCI image-layout spec and can be consumed by `skopeo`, `crane`, or `podman load`. Requires `mise settings experimental=true` (or `MISE_EXPERIMENTAL=1`).

Usage: mise oci build [OPTIONS]

Options:

-o, --output <OUTPUT>
    Output directory for the OCI image layout
    Default: ./mise-oci

--from <FROM>
    Base image reference (overrides [oci].from and the oci.default_from setting)

--include-global
    Also include tools from the global / system config (default: project-only) By default `mise oci build` only packages tools declared in the project's mise config (and any parent configs at-or-below the project root, e.g. a monorepo root config). Personal dev tools in `~/.config/mise/config.toml` are excluded so they don't bake into a project image. Pass `--include-global` to revert to the old "merge all loaded configs" behavior.

-t, --tag <TAG>
    Tag to record in the image index (the org.opencontainers.image.ref.name annotation)

--mount-point <MOUNT_POINT>
    Where to place tool installs inside the image (default: /mise)

--no-mise
    Do not embed the currently-running mise binary at /usr/local/bin/mise

--owner <UID[:GID]>
    UID[:GID] to assign to every tar entry in generated layers Overrides [oci].user_id / [oci].group_id. Defaults to 0:0. If GID is omitted, it defaults to UID. This affects file ownership only; [oci].user controls the image USER directive.

MISE OCI PUSH
[experimental] Build an OCI image and push it to a registry Requires `skopeo` (or `crane`) on PATH. If `--image-dir` is not passed, builds fresh from the current mise.toml first, then shells out to `skopeo copy oci:<dir> docker://<ref>` (or `crane push <dir> <ref>`). Authentication is handled by the underlying tool — configure it the same way you would for a plain `skopeo` / `crane` push (e.g. `docker login`, `REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE`, `~/.config/containers/auth.json`). Requires `mise settings experimental=true` (or `MISE_EXPERIMENTAL=1`).

Usage: mise oci push [OPTIONS] <REF>

Options:

--from <FROM>
    Base image for the build (ignored with --image-dir)

--image-dir <IMAGE_DIR>
    Push an already-built OCI image layout (skip the build step)

--include-global
    Also include tools from the global / system config (default: project-only) See `mise oci build --help` for details.

--mount-point <MOUNT_POINT>
    Override in-image mount point (ignored with --image-dir)

--no-mise
    Don't embed the mise binary (ignored with --image-dir)

--owner <UID[:GID]>
    UID[:GID] to assign to every tar entry when building (conflicts with --image-dir) Overrides [oci].user_id / [oci].group_id. Defaults to 0:0. If GID is omitted, it defaults to UID. This affects file ownership only; [oci].user controls the image USER directive.

--tool <TOOL>
    Force the push tool (`auto`, `skopeo`, `crane`). Default `auto`
    Default: auto
Arguments:

<REF>
    Destination registry reference (e.g. `ghcr.io/me/devenv:latest`)

MISE OCI RUN
[experimental] Build an OCI image from the current mise.toml and run a command in it Equivalent to `mise oci build` followed by `docker run` / `podman run`. The built image is loaded into the local container engine (podman is preferred; docker works via skopeo) and the given command is executed inside it with stdin/stdout/stderr inherited. Requires `mise settings experimental=true` (or `MISE_EXPERIMENTAL=1`) and one of: `podman`, `docker+skopeo`.

Usage: mise oci run [OPTIONS] [<CMD>] ...

Options:

--engine <ENGINE>
    Container engine to use (`auto`, `podman`, or `docker`)
    Default: auto

--from <FROM>
    Base image reference for the build (ignored with --image-dir)

--image-dir <IMAGE_DIR>
    Use an already-built OCI image layout instead of building fresh

--include-global
    Also include tools from the global / system config (default: project-only) See `mise oci build --help` for details.

--keep
    Keep the loaded image in the engine's storage after the run By default, both the container (`--rm`) and the loaded image are removed when the command exits, so repeated `mise oci run` calls don't accumulate images in podman / docker storage. Pass `--keep` to retain the image under the tag mise used (`mise-oci:run-*` for docker; the pulled image ID for podman).

--mount-point <MOUNT_POINT>
    Override in-image mount point (ignored with --image-dir)

--no-mise
    Don't embed the mise binary (ignored with --image-dir)

--owner <UID[:GID]>
    UID[:GID] to assign to every tar entry when building (conflicts with --image-dir) Overrides [oci].user_id / [oci].group_id. Defaults to 0:0. If GID is omitted, it defaults to UID. This affects file ownership only; [oci].user controls the image USER directive.

--volume <HOST:CONTAINER>
    Bind-mount a host path (repeatable, `HOST:CONTAINER[:MODE]`) Note: unlike `docker run -v`, there's no `-v` short flag here because mise reserves `-v` for --verbose. Use `--volume` or `--mount`.

-e, --env <KEY=VAL>
    Set environment variable in the container (repeatable, `KEY=VAL`)

-i, --interactive
    Run interactively (pass `-i` to the engine)

-t, --tty
    Allocate a TTY (pass `-t` to the engine)

-w, --workdir <WORKDIR>
    Working directory inside the container Arguments:

<CMD>
    Command and arguments to run inside the container (after `--`)

-l, --bump
    Compares against the latest versions available, not what matches the current config For example, if you have `node = "20"` in your config by default `mise outdated` will only show other 20.x versions, not 21.x or 22.x versions. Using this flag, if there are 21.x or newer versions it will display those instead of 20.x.

--inactive
    Show outdated tools including installed-but-inactive tools not present in the current config By default, `mise outdated` only shows tools that come from the current config.

--local

MISE RESHIM
Creates new shims based on bin paths from currently installed tools. This creates new shims in ~/.local/share/mise/shims for CLIs that have been added. mise will try to do this automatically for commands like `npm i -g` but there are other ways to install things (like using yarn or pnpm for node) that mise does not know about and so it will be necessary to call this explicitly. If you think mise should automatically call this for a particular command, please open an issue on the mise repo. You can also set up a shell function to reshim automatically (it's really fast so you don't need to worry about overhead):
    npm() {
      command npm "$@"
      mise reshim
    } Note that this creates shims for _all_ installed tools, not just the ones that are currently active in mise.toml.

Usage: mise reshim [OPTIONS] [<TOOL>] [<VERSION>]

Options:

-f, --force
    Removes all shims before reshimming

    [tasks.build]
    run = "npm run build"
    sources = ["src/**/*.ts"]
    outputs = ["dist/**/*.js"] Alternatively, tasks can be defined as standalone scripts. These must be located in `mise-tasks`, `.mise-tasks`, `.mise/tasks`, `mise/tasks` or `.config/mise/tasks`. The name of the script will be the name of the tasks.

MISE TOOL-STUB
Execute a tool stub Tool stubs are executable files containing TOML configuration that specify which tool to run and how to run it. They provide a convenient way to create portable, self-contained executables that automatically manage tool installation and execution. A tool stub consists of: - A shebang line: #!/usr/bin/env -S mise tool-stub - TOML configuration specifying the tool, version, and options - Optional comments describing the tool's purpose Example stub file: #!/usr/bin/env -S mise tool-stub # Node.js v20 development environment tool = "node" version = "20.0.0" bin = "node" The stub will automatically install the specified tool version if missing and execute it with any arguments passed to the stub. For more information, see: https://mise.en.dev/dev-tools/tool-stubs.html

Usage: mise tool-stub <FILE> [<ARGS>] ...

Arguments:

<FILE>
    Path to the TOML tool stub file to execute The stub file must contain TOML configuration specifying the tool and version to run. At minimum, it should specify a 'version' field. Other common fields include 'tool', 'bin', and backend-specific options.

<ARGS>
    Arguments to pass to the tool All arguments after the stub file path will be forwarded to the underlying tool. Use '--' to separate mise arguments from tool arguments if needed.

MISE TRUST
Marks a config file as trusted This means mise is allowed to parse the file when it needs to read config that may execute code or affect the environment. mise checks trust before parsing `mise.toml`. Without trust, mise may prompt, skip the config in some discovery paths, fail with an untrusted-config error when it cannot prompt, or assume trust in detected CI unless paranoid mode is enabled. Safe config files do not require trust: files that only contain `min_version`, `[tools]` entries with plain version strings (or arrays of them), and `[tasks]` (no templates and no tool options) are loaded without prompting, since nothing in them executes code at load time — tools install and tasks run only on explicit commands like `mise install` or `mise run`.

Usage: mise trust [OPTIONS] [<CONFIG_FILE>]

Options:

-a, --all
    Trust all config files in the current directory and its parents

--ignore
    Do not trust this config and ignore it in the future

--show
    Show the trusted status of config files from the current directory and its parents. Does not trust or untrust any files.

--untrust
    No longer trust this config, will prompt in the future Arguments:

<CONFIG_FILE>
    The config file to trust

MISE UNINSTALL
Removes installed tool versions This only removes the installed version, it does not modify mise.toml.

Usage: mise uninstall [OPTIONS] [<INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION>] ...

Options:

-a, --all
    Delete all installed versions

-n, --dry-run
    Do not actually delete anything

--dry-run-code
    Like --dry-run but exits with code 1 if there are tools to uninstall This is useful for scripts to check if tools need to be uninstalled. Arguments:

<INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION>
    Tool(s) to remove

MISE UNSET
Remove environment variable(s) from the config file. By default, this command modifies `mise.toml` in the current directory.

Usage: mise unset [OPTIONS] [<ENV_KEY>] ...

Options:

-f, --file <FILE>
    Specify a file to use instead of `mise.toml` Defaults to [`MISE_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILENAME`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_default_config_filename) environment variable, or `mise.toml`. Use [`MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_global_config_file) to choose a different global config path.

-g, --global
    Use the global config file Arguments:

<ENV_KEY>
    Environment variable(s) to remove e.g.: NODE_ENV

MISE UNTRUST
No longer trust a config, will prompt in the future

Usage: mise untrust [<CONFIG_FILE>]

Arguments:

<CONFIG_FILE>
    The config file to untrust

MISE UNUSE
Removes installed tool versions from mise.toml By default, this will use the `mise.toml` file that has the tool defined. If multiple config files exist (e.g., both `mise.toml` and `mise.local.toml`), the lowest precedence file (`mise.toml`) will be used. See https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#target-file-for-write-operations In the following order:
  - If `--global` is set, it will use the global config file.
  - If `--path` is set, it will use the config file at the given path.
  - If `--env` is set, it will use `mise.<env>.toml`.
  - If [`MISE_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILENAME`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_default_config_filename) is set, it will use that instead.
  - If `MISE_OVERRIDE_CONFIG_FILENAMES` is set, it will the first from that list.
  - Otherwise just "mise.toml" or global config if cwd is home directory. Use [`MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_global_config_file) to choose a different global config path. Will also prune the installed version if no other configurations are using it.

Usage: mise unuse [OPTIONS] <INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION> ...

Options:

-e, --env <ENV>
    Create/modify an environment-specific config file like .mise.<env>.toml

-g, --global
    Use the global config file (`~/.config/mise/config.toml`) instead of the local one

-p, --path <PATH>
    Specify a path to a config file or directory If a directory is specified, it will look for a config file in that directory following the rules above.

--no-prune
    Do not also prune the installed version Arguments:

<INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION>
    Tool(s) to remove

MISE UPGRADE
Upgrades outdated tools By default, this keeps the range specified in mise.toml. So if you have node@20 set, it will upgrade to the latest 20.x.x version available. See the `--bump` flag to use the latest version and bump the version in mise.toml. This will update mise.lock if it is enabled, see https://mise.en.dev/configuration/settings.html#lockfile

Usage: mise upgrade [OPTIONS] [<INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION>] ...

Options:

-i, --interactive
    Display multiselect menu to choose which tools to upgrade

-j, --jobs <JOBS>
    Number of jobs to run in parallel [default: 4]

-l, --bump
    Upgrades to the latest version available, bumping the version in mise.toml For example, if you have `node = "20.0.0"` in your mise.toml but 22.1.0 is the latest available, this will install 22.1.0 and set `node = "22.1.0"` in your config. It keeps the same precision as what was there before, so if you instead had `node = "20"`, it would change your config to `node = "22"`.

-n, --dry-run
    Just print what would be done, don't actually do it

-x, --exclude <INSTALLED_TOOL>
    Tool(s) to exclude from upgrading e.g.: go python

--dry-run-code
    Like --dry-run but exits with code 1 if there are outdated tools This is useful for scripts to check if tools need to be upgraded.

--inactive
    Upgrade all tools, including installed-but-inactive tools not present in the current config

--local
    Only upgrade tools defined in local config files This will only upgrade tools that are defined in project-local mise.toml and will skip tools defined in the global config (~/.config/mise/config.toml).

--minimum-release-age <MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE>
    Only upgrade to versions released before this date or older than this duration Supports absolute dates like "2024-06-01" and relative durations like "90d" or "1y". This can be useful for reproducibility or security purposes. This only affects fuzzy version matches like "20" or "latest". Explicitly pinned versions like "22.5.0" are not filtered.

--raw
    Connect backend install command stdin/stdout/stderr directly to the terminal Implies --jobs=1 Arguments:

<INSTALLED_TOOL@VERSION>
    Tool(s) to upgrade e.g.: node@20 python@3.10 If not specified, all current tools will be upgraded

MISE USE
Installs a tool and adds the version to mise.toml. This will install the tool version if it is not already installed. By default, this will use a `mise.toml` file in the current directory. If multiple config files exist (e.g., both `mise.toml` and `mise.local.toml`), the lowest precedence file (`mise.toml`) will be used. See https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#target-file-for-write-operations In the following order:
  - If `--global` is set, it will use the global config file.
  - If `--path` is set, it will use the config file at the given path.
  - If `--env` is set, it will use `mise.<env>.toml`.
  - If [`MISE_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILENAME`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_default_config_filename) is set, it will use that instead.
  - If `MISE_OVERRIDE_CONFIG_FILENAMES` is set, it will the first from that list.
  - Otherwise just "mise.toml" or global config if cwd is home directory. Use [`MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE`](https://mise.en.dev/configuration.html#mise_global_config_file) to choose a different global config path. Use the `--global` flag to use the global config file instead.

Usage: mise use [OPTIONS] [<TOOL@VERSION>] ...

Options:

-e, --env <ENV>
    Create/modify an environment-specific config file like .mise.<env>.toml

-f, --force
    Force reinstall even if already installed

-g, --global
    Use the global config file (`~/.config/mise/config.toml`) instead of the local one

-j, --jobs <JOBS>
    Number of jobs to run in parallel [default: 4]

-n, --dry-run
    Perform a dry run, showing what would be installed and modified without making changes

-p, --path <PATH>
    Specify a path to a config file or directory If a directory is specified, it will look for a config file in that directory following the rules above.

--dry-run-code
    Like --dry-run but exits with code 1 if there are changes to make This is useful for scripts to check if tools need to be added or removed.

--fuzzy
    Save fuzzy version to config file e.g.: `mise use --fuzzy node@20` will save 20 as the version this is the default behavior unless `MISE_PIN=1`

--minimum-release-age <MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE>
    Only install versions released before this date or older than this duration Supports absolute dates like "2024-06-01" and relative durations like "90d" or "1y".

--pin
    Save exact version to config file e.g.: `mise use --pin node@20` will save 20.0.0 as the version Set `MISE_PIN=1` to make this the default behavior Consider using mise.lock as a better alternative to pinning in mise.toml: https://mise.en.dev/configuration/settings.html#lockfile

--raw
    Connect backend install command stdin/stdout/stderr directly to the terminal Implies `--jobs=1`

--remove <TOOL>
    Remove the tool(s) from config file Arguments:

<TOOL@VERSION>
    Tool(s) to add to config file e.g.: node@20, cargo:ripgrep@latest npm:prettier@3 If no version is specified, it will default to @latest Tool options can be set with this syntax:
        mise use ubi:BurntSushi/ripgrep[exe=rg]

MISE VERSION
Display the version of mise Displays the version, os, architecture, and the date of the build. If the version is out of date, it will display a warning.

Usage: mise version [OPTIONS]

Options:

-J, --json
    Print the version information in JSON format

MISE WATCH
Run task(s) and watch for changes to rerun it This command uses the `watchexec` tool to watch for changes to files and rerun the specified task(s). It must be installed for this command to work, but you can install it with `mise use -g watchexec@latest`. For more advanced process management (daemon management, auto-restart, readiness checks, cron scheduling), see mise's sister project: https://pitchfork.en.dev

Usage: mise watch [OPTIONS] [<TASK>] [<ARGS>] ...

Options:

-t, --task-flag <TASK_FLAG>
    Tasks to run

-g, --glob <GLOB>
    Files to watch Defaults to sources from the task(s)

--skip-deps
    Run only the specified tasks skipping all dependencies

-w, --watch <PATH>
    Watch a specific file or directory By default, Watchexec watches the current directory. When watching a single file, it's often better to watch the containing directory instead, and filter on the filename. Some editors may replace the file with a new one when saving, and some platforms may not detect that or further changes. Upon starting, Watchexec resolves a "project origin" from the watched paths. See the help for '--project-origin' for more information. This option can be specified multiple times to watch multiple files or directories. The special value '/dev/null', provided as the only path watched, will cause Watchexec to not watch any paths. Other event sources (like signals or key events) may still be used.

-W, --watch-non-recursive <PATH>
    Watch a specific directory, non-recursively Unlike '-w', folders watched with this option are not recursed into. This option can be specified multiple times to watch multiple directories non-recursively.

-F, --watch-file <PATH>
    Watch files and directories from a file Each line in the file will be interpreted as if given to '-w'. For more complex uses (like watching non-recursively), use the argfile capability: build a file containing command-line options and pass it to watchexec with `@path/to/argfile`. The special value '-' will read from STDIN; this in incompatible with '--stdin-quit'.

-c, --clear <MODE>
    Clear screen before running command If this doesn't completely clear the screen, try '--clear=reset'.

-o, --on-busy-update <MODE>
    What to do when receiving events while the command is running Default is to 'do-nothing', which ignores events while the command is running, so that changes that occur due to the command are ignored, like compilation outputs. You can also use 'queue' which will run the command once again when the current run has finished if any events occur while it's running, or 'restart', which terminates the running command and starts a new one. Finally, there's 'signal', which only sends a signal; this can be useful with programs that can reload their configuration without a full restart. The signal can be specified with the '--signal' option.
    Default: do-nothing

-r, --restart
    Restart the process if it's still running This is a shorthand for '--on-busy-update=restart'.

-s, --signal <SIGNAL>
    Send a signal to the process when it's still running Specify a signal to send to the process when it's still running. This implies '--on-busy-update=signal'; otherwise the signal used when that mode is 'restart' is controlled by '--stop-signal'. See the long documentation for '--stop-signal' for syntax. Signals are not supported on Windows at the moment, and will always be overridden to 'kill'. See '--stop-signal' for more on Windows "signals".

--stop-signal <SIGNAL>
    Signal to send to stop the command This is used by 'restart' and 'signal' modes of '--on-busy-update' (unless '--signal' is provided). The restart behaviour is to send the signal, wait for the command to exit, and if it hasn't exited after some time (see '--timeout-stop'), forcefully terminate it. The default on unix is "SIGTERM". Input is parsed as a full signal name (like "SIGTERM"), a short signal name (like "TERM"), or a signal number (like "15"). All input is case-insensitive. On Windows this option is technically supported but only supports the "KILL" event, as Watchexec cannot yet deliver other events. Windows doesn't have signals as such; instead it has termination (here called "KILL" or "STOP") and "CTRL+C", "CTRL+BREAK", and "CTRL+CLOSE" events. For portability the unix signals "SIGKILL", "SIGINT", "SIGTERM", and "SIGHUP" are respectively mapped to these.

--stop-timeout <TIMEOUT>
    Time to wait for the command to exit gracefully This is used by the 'restart' mode of '--on-busy-update'. After the graceful stop signal is sent, Watchexec will wait for the command to exit. If it hasn't exited after this time, it is forcefully terminated. Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or a time span value such as "5min 20s". Providing a unit-less value is deprecated and will warn; it will be an error in the future. The default is 10 seconds. Set to 0 to immediately force-kill the command. This has no practical effect on Windows as the command is always forcefully terminated; see '--stop-signal' for why.
    Default: 10s

--map-signal <SIGNAL:SIGNAL>
    Translate signals from the OS to signals to send to the command Takes a pair of signal names, separated by a colon, such as "TERM:INT" to map SIGTERM to SIGINT. The first signal is the one received by watchexec, and the second is the one sent to the command. The second can be omitted to discard the first signal, such as "TERM:" to not do anything on SIGTERM. If SIGINT or SIGTERM are mapped, then they no longer quit Watchexec. Besides making it hard to quit Watchexec itself, this is useful to send pass a Ctrl-C to the command without also terminating Watchexec and the underlying program with it, e.g. with "INT:INT". This option can be specified multiple times to map multiple signals. Signal syntax is case-insensitive for short names (like "TERM", "USR2") and long names (like "SIGKILL", "SIGHUP"). Signal numbers are also supported (like "15", "31"). On Windows, the forms "STOP", "CTRL+C", and "CTRL+BREAK" are also supported to receive, but Watchexec cannot yet deliver other "signals" than a STOP.

-d, --debounce <TIMEOUT>
    Time to wait for new events before taking action When an event is received, Watchexec will wait for up to this amount of time before handling it (such as running the command). This is essential as what you might perceive as a single change may actually emit many events, and without this behaviour, Watchexec would run much too often. Additionally, it's not infrequent that file writes are not atomic, and each write may emit an event, so this is a good way to avoid running a command while a file is partially written. An alternative use is to set a high value (like "30min" or longer), to save power or bandwidth on intensive tasks, like an ad-hoc backup script. In those use cases, note that every accumulated event will build up in memory. Takes a unit-less value in milliseconds, or a time span value such as "5sec 20ms". Providing a unit-less value is deprecated and will warn; it will be an error in the future. The default is 50 milliseconds. Setting to 0 is highly discouraged.
    Default: 50ms

--stdin-quit
    Exit when stdin closes This watches the stdin file descriptor for EOF, and exits Watchexec gracefully when it is closed. This is used by some process managers to avoid leaving zombie processes around.

--no-vcs-ignore
    Don't load gitignores Among other VCS exclude files, like for Mercurial, Subversion, Bazaar, DARCS, Fossil. Note that Watchexec will detect which of these is in use, if any, and only load the relevant files. Both global (like '~/.gitignore') and local (like '.gitignore') files are considered. This option is useful if you want to watch files that are ignored by Git.

--no-project-ignore
    Don't load project-local ignores This disables loading of project-local ignore files, like '.gitignore' or '.ignore' in the watched project. This is contrasted with '--no-vcs-ignore', which disables loading of Git and other VCS ignore files, and with '--no-global-ignore', which disables loading of global or user ignore files, like '~/.gitignore' or '~/.config/watchexec/ignore'. Supported project ignore files:
      - Git: .gitignore at project root and child directories, .git/info/exclude, and the file pointed to by `core.excludesFile` in .git/config.
      - Mercurial: .hgignore at project root and child directories.
      - Bazaar: .bzrignore at project root.
      - Darcs: _darcs/prefs/boring
      - Fossil: .fossil-settings/ignore-glob
      - Ripgrep/Watchexec/generic: .ignore at project root and child directories. VCS ignore files (Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Darcs, Fossil) are only used if the corresponding VCS is discovered to be in use for the project/origin. For example, a .bzrignore in a Git repository will be discarded.

--no-global-ignore
    Don't load global ignores This disables loading of global or user ignore files, like '~/.gitignore', '~/.config/watchexec/ignore', or '%APPDATA%\Bazaar\2.0\ignore'. Contrast with '--no-vcs-ignore' and '--no-project-ignore'. Supported global ignore files
      - Git (if core.excludesFile is set): the file at that path
      - Git (otherwise): the first found of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore, %APPDATA%/.gitignore, %USERPROFILE%/.gitignore, $HOME/.config/git/ignore, $HOME/.gitignore.
      - Bazaar: the first found of %APPDATA%/Bazaar/2.0/ignore, $HOME/.bazaar/ignore.
      - Watchexec: the first found of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/watchexec/ignore, %APPDATA%/watchexec/ignore, %USERPROFILE%/.watchexec/ignore, $HOME/.watchexec/ignore. Like for project files, Git and Bazaar global files will only be used for the corresponding VCS as used in the project.

--no-default-ignore
    Don't use internal default ignores Watchexec has a set of default ignore patterns, such as editor swap files, `*.pyc`, `*.pyo`, `.DS_Store`, `.bzr`, `_darcs`, `.fossil-settings`, `.git`, `.hg`, `.pijul`, `.svn`, and Watchexec log files.

--no-discover-ignore
    Don't discover ignore files at all This is a shorthand for '--no-global-ignore', '--no-vcs-ignore', '--no-project-ignore', but even more efficient as it will skip all the ignore discovery mechanisms from the get go. Note that default ignores are still loaded, see '--no-default-ignore'.

--ignore-nothing
    Don't ignore anything at all This is a shorthand for '--no-discover-ignore', '--no-default-ignore'. Note that ignores explicitly loaded via other command line options, such as '--ignore' or '--ignore-file', will still be used.

-p, --postpone
    Wait until first change before running command By default, Watchexec will run the command once immediately. With this option, it will instead wait until an event is detected before running the command as normal.

--delay-run <DURATION>
    Sleep before running the command This option will cause Watchexec to sleep for the specified amount of time before running the command, after an event is detected. This is like using "sleep 5 && command" in a shell, but portable and slightly more efficient. Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or a time span value such as "2min 5s". Providing a unit-less value is deprecated and will warn; it will be an error in the future.

--poll <INTERVAL>
    Poll for filesystem changes By default, and where available, Watchexec uses the operating system's native file system watching capabilities. This option disables that and instead uses a polling mechanism, which is less efficient but can work around issues with some file systems (like network shares) or edge cases. Optionally takes a unit-less value in milliseconds, or a time span value such as "2s 500ms", to use as the polling interval. If not specified, the default is 30 seconds. Providing a unit-less value is deprecated and will warn; it will be an error in the future. Aliased as '--force-poll'.

--shell <SHELL>
    Use a different shell By default, Watchexec will use '$SHELL' if it's defined or a default of 'sh' on Unix-likes, and either 'pwsh', 'powershell', or 'cmd' (CMD.EXE) on Windows, depending on what Watchexec detects is the running shell. With this option, you can override that and use a different shell, for example one with more features or one which has your custom aliases and functions. If the value has spaces, it is parsed as a command line, and the first word used as the shell program, with the rest as arguments to the shell. The command is run with the '-c' flag (except for 'cmd' on Windows, where it's '/C'). The special value 'none' can be used to disable shell use entirely. In that case, the command provided to Watchexec will be parsed, with the first word being the executable and the rest being the arguments, and executed directly. Note that this parsing is rudimentary, and may not work as expected in all cases. Using 'none' is a little more efficient and can enable a stricter interpretation of the input, but it also means that you can't use shell features like globbing, redirection, control flow, logic, or pipes. Examples: Use without shell: $ watchexec -n -- zsh -x -o shwordsplit scr Use with powershell core: $ watchexec --shell=pwsh -- Test-Connection localhost Use with CMD.exe: $ watchexec --shell=cmd -- dir Use with a different unix shell: $ watchexec --shell=bash -- 'echo $BASH_VERSION' Use with a unix shell and options: $ watchexec --shell='zsh -x -o shwordsplit' -- scr

-n  Shorthand for '--shell=none'

--emit-events-to <MODE>
    Configure event emission Watchexec can emit event information when running a command, which can be used by the child process to target specific changed files. One thing to take care with is assuming inherent behaviour where there is only chance. Notably, it could appear as if the `RENAMED` variable contains both the original and the new path being renamed. In previous versions, it would even appear on some platforms as if the original always came before the new. However, none of this was true. It's impossible to reliably and portably know which changed path is the old or new, "half" renames may appear (only the original, only the new), "unknown" renames may appear (change was a rename, but whether it was the old or new isn't known), rename events might split across two debouncing boundaries, and so on. This option controls where that information is emitted. It defaults to 'none', which doesn't emit event information at all. The other options are 'environment' (deprecated), 'stdio', 'file', 'json-stdio', and 'json-file'. The 'stdio' and 'file' modes are text-based: 'stdio' writes absolute paths to the stdin of the command, one per line, each prefixed with `create:`, `remove:`, `rename:`, `modify:`, or `other:`, then closes the handle; 'file' writes the same thing to a temporary file, and its path is given with the $WATCHEXEC_EVENTS_FILE environment variable. There are also two JSON modes, which are based on JSON objects and can represent the full set of events Watchexec handles. Here's an example of a folder being created on Linux: ```json
      {
        "tags": [
          {
            "kind": "path",
            "absolute": "/home/user/your/new-folder",
            "filetype": "dir"
          },
          {
            "kind": "fs",
            "simple": "create",
            "full": "Create(Folder)"
          },
          {
            "kind": "source",
            "source": "filesystem",
          }
        ],
        "metadata": {
          "notify-backend": "inotify"
        }
      } ``` The fields are as follows:
      - `tags`, structured event data.
      - `tags[].kind`, which can be:
        * 'path', along with:
          + `absolute`, an absolute path.
          + `filetype`, a file type if known ('dir', 'file', 'symlink', 'other').
        * 'fs':
          + `simple`, the "simple" event type ('access', 'create', 'modify', 'remove', or 'other').
          + `full`, the "full" event type, which is too complex to fully describe here, but looks like 'General(Precise(Specific))'.
        * 'source', along with:
          + `source`, the source of the event ('filesystem', 'keyboard', 'mouse', 'os', 'time', 'internal').
        * 'keyboard', along with:
          + `keycode`. Currently only the value 'eof' is supported.
        * 'process', for events caused by processes:
          + `pid`, the process ID.
        * 'signal', for signals sent to Watchexec:
          + `signal`, the normalised signal name ('hangup', 'interrupt', 'quit', 'terminate', 'user1', 'user2').
        * 'completion', for when a command ends:
          + `disposition`, the exit disposition ('success', 'error', 'signal', 'stop', 'exception', 'continued').
          + `code`, the exit, signal, stop, or exception code.
      - `metadata`, additional information about the event. The 'json-stdio' mode will emit JSON events to the standard input of the command, one per line, then close stdin. The 'json-file' mode will create a temporary file, write the events to it, and provide the path to the file with the $WATCHEXEC_EVENTS_FILE environment variable. Finally, the 'environment' mode was the default until 2.0. It sets environment variables with the paths of the affected files, for filesystem events: $WATCHEXEC_COMMON_PATH is set to the longest common path of all of the below variables, and so should be prepended to each path to obtain the full/real path. Then:
      - $WATCHEXEC_CREATED_PATH is set when files/folders were created
      - $WATCHEXEC_REMOVED_PATH is set when files/folders were removed
      - $WATCHEXEC_RENAMED_PATH is set when files/folders were renamed
      - $WATCHEXEC_WRITTEN_PATH is set when files/folders were modified
      - $WATCHEXEC_META_CHANGED_PATH is set when files/folders' metadata were modified
      - $WATCHEXEC_OTHERWISE_CHANGED_PATH is set for every other kind of pathed event Multiple paths are separated by the system path separator, ';' on Windows and ':' on unix. Within each variable, paths are deduplicated and sorted in binary order (i.e. neither Unicode nor locale aware). This is the legacy mode, is deprecated, and will be removed in the future. The environment is a very restricted space, while also limited in what it can usefully represent. Large numbers of files will either cause the environment to be truncated, or may error or crash the process entirely. The $WATCHEXEC_COMMON_PATH is also unintuitive, as demonstrated by the multiple confused queries that have landed in my inbox over the years.
    Default: none

--only-emit-events
    Only emit events to stdout, run no commands. This is a convenience option for using Watchexec as a file watcher, without running any commands. It is almost equivalent to using `cat` as the command, except that it will not spawn a new process for each event. This option requires `--emit-events-to` to be set, and restricts the available modes to `stdio` and `json-stdio`, modifying their behaviour to write to stdout instead of the stdin of the command.

-E, --env <KEY=VALUE>
    Add env vars to the command This is a convenience option for setting environment variables for the command, without setting them for the Watchexec process itself. Use key=value syntax. Multiple variables can be set by repeating the option.

--wrap-process <MODE>
    Configure how the process is wrapped By default, Watchexec will run the command in a process group in Unix, and in a Job Object in Windows. Some Unix programs prefer running in a session, while others do not work in a process group. Use 'group' to use a process group, 'session' to use a process session, and 'none' to run the command directly. On Windows, either of 'group' or 'session' will use a Job Object.
    Default: group

-N, --notify
    Alert when commands start and end With this, Watchexec will emit a desktop notification when a command starts and ends, on supported platforms. On unsupported platforms, it may silently do nothing, or log a warning.

--color <MODE>
    When to use terminal colours Setting the environment variable `NO_COLOR` to any value is equivalent to `--color=never`.
    Default: auto

--timings
    Print how long the command took to run This may not be exactly accurate, as it includes some overhead from Watchexec itself. Use the `time` utility, high-precision timers, or benchmarking tools for more accurate results.

-q, --quiet
    Don't print starting and stopping messages By default Watchexec will print a message when the command starts and stops. This option disables this behaviour, so only the command's output, warnings, and errors will be printed.

--bell
    Ring the terminal bell on command completion

--project-origin <DIRECTORY>
    Set the project origin Watchexec will attempt to discover the project's "origin" (or "root") by searching for a variety of markers, like files or directory patterns. It does its best but sometimes gets it it wrong, and you can override that with this option. The project origin is used to determine the path of certain ignore files, which VCS is being used, the meaning of a leading '/' in filtering patterns, and maybe more in the future. When set, Watchexec will also not bother searching, which can be significantly faster.

--workdir <DIRECTORY>
    Set the working directory By default, the working directory of the command is the working directory of Watchexec. You can change that with this option. Note that paths may be less intuitive to use with this.

-e, --exts <EXTENSIONS>
    Filename extensions to filter to This is a quick filter to only emit events for files with the given extensions. Extensions can be given with or without the leading dot (e.g. 'js' or '.js'). Multiple extensions can be given by repeating the option or by separating them with commas.

-f, --filter <PATTERN>
    Filename patterns to filter to Provide a glob-like filter pattern, and only events for files matching the pattern will be emitted. Multiple patterns can be given by repeating the option. Events that are not from files (e.g. signals, keyboard events) will pass through untouched.

--filter-file <PATH>
    Files to load filters from Provide a path to a file containing filters, one per line. Empty lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored. Uses the same pattern format as the '--filter' option. This can also be used via the $WATCHEXEC_FILTER_FILES environment variable.

-J, --filter-prog <EXPRESSION>
    [experimental] Filter programs. /!\ This option is EXPERIMENTAL and may change and/or vanish without notice. Provide your own custom filter programs in jaq (similar to jq) syntax. Programs are given an event in the same format as described in '--emit-events-to' and must return a boolean. Invalid programs will make watchexec fail to start; use '-v' to see program runtime errors. In addition to the jaq stdlib, watchexec adds some custom filter definitions: - 'path | file_meta' returns file metadata or null if the file does not exist. - 'path | file_size' returns the size of the file at path, or null if it does not exist. - 'path | file_read(bytes)' returns a string with the first n bytes of the file at path. If the file is smaller than n bytes, the whole file is returned. There is no filter to read the whole file at once to encourage limiting the amount of data read and processed. - 'string | hash', and 'path | file_hash' return the hash of the string or file at path. No guarantee is made about the algorithm used: treat it as an opaque value. - 'any | kv_store(key)', 'kv_fetch(key)', and 'kv_clear' provide a simple key-value store. Data is kept in memory only, there is no persistence. Consistency is not guaranteed. - 'any | printout', 'any | printerr', and 'any | log(level)' will print or log any given value to stdout, stderr, or the log (levels = error, warn, info, debug, trace), and pass the value through (so '[1] | log("debug") | .[]' will produce a '1' and log '[1]'). All filtering done with such programs, and especially those using kv or filesystem access, is much slower than the other filtering methods. If filtering is too slow, events will back up and stall watchexec. Take care when designing your filters. If the argument to this option starts with an '@', the rest of the argument is taken to be the path to a file containing a jaq program. Jaq programs are run in order, after all other filters, and short-circuit: if a filter (jaq or not) rejects an event, execution stops there, and no other filters are run. Additionally, they stop after outputting the first value, so you'll want to use 'any' or 'all' when iterating, otherwise only the first item will be processed, which can be quite confusing! Find user-contributed programs or submit your own useful ones at <https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/discussions/592>. ## Examples: Regexp ignore filter on paths: 'all(.tags[] | select(.kind == "path"); .absolute | test("[.]test[.]js$")) | not' Pass any event that creates a file: 'any(.tags[] | select(.kind == "fs"); .simple == "create")' Pass events that touch executable files: 'any(.tags[] | select(.kind == "path" && .filetype == "file"); .absolute | metadata | .executable)' Ignore files that start with shebangs: 'any(.tags[] | select(.kind == "path" && .filetype == "file"); .absolute | read(2) == "#!") | not'

-i, --ignore <PATTERN>
    Filename patterns to filter out Provide a glob-like filter pattern, and events for files matching the pattern will be excluded. Multiple patterns can be given by repeating the option. Events that are not from files (e.g. signals, keyboard events) will pass through untouched.

--ignore-file <PATH>
    Files to load ignores from Provide a path to a file containing ignores, one per line. Empty lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored. Uses the same pattern format as the '--ignore' option. This can also be used via the $WATCHEXEC_IGNORE_FILES environment variable.

--fs-events <EVENTS>
    Filesystem events to filter to This is a quick filter to only emit events for the given types of filesystem changes. Choose from 'access', 'create', 'remove', 'rename', 'modify', 'metadata'. Multiple types can be given by repeating the option or by separating them with commas. By default, this is all types except for 'access'. This may apply filtering at the kernel level when possible, which can be more efficient, but may be more confusing when reading the logs.
    Default: create,remove,rename,modify,metadata

--no-meta
    Don't emit fs events for metadata changes This is a shorthand for '--fs-events create,remove,rename,modify'. Using it alongside the '--fs-events' option is non-sensical and not allowed.

--print-events
    Print events that trigger actions This prints the events that triggered the action when handling it (after debouncing), in a human readable form. This is useful for debugging filters. Use '-vvv' instead when you need more diagnostic information.

--manual
    Show the manual page This shows the manual page for Watchexec, if the output is a terminal and the 'man' program is available. If not, the manual page is printed to stdout in ROFF format (suitable for writing to a watchexec.1 file). Arguments:

<TASK>
    Tasks to run Can specify multiple tasks by separating with `:::` e.g.: `mise run task1 arg1 arg2 ::: task2 arg1 arg2`

<ARGS>
