mise bootstrap remote ​

  • Usage: mise bootstrap remote [FLAGS] [TARGET]…
  • Effect: destructive — may delete or irreversibly overwrite
  • Source code: src/cli/bootstrap.rs

Bootstrap one or more machines over OpenSSH

Select inventory hosts by name, tag, or --all, or supply ad-hoc --host targets. The source is staged on each target and bootstrap runs there. --adopt instead installs persistent global configuration; preview that choice with --dry-run.

Arguments ​

  • [TARGET]… — Inventory host names from [bootstrap.remote.hosts]

Flags ​

  • --adopt <GIT_URL|OWNER/REPO> — Adopt global configuration or shared dotfile history on each target

  • --github-relay-repo <OWNER/REPO> — Approved GitHub repository; repeat for multiple repositories

  • --github-relay-all-repos — Explicitly authorize all repositories accessible locally

  • --github-relay-log-requests — Log sanitized relay requests on local stderr

  • --github-relay-no-log-requests — Disable request logging, overriding the saved preference

  • --github-relay-log-format <FORMAT> — Relay log and summary format: text or jsonl

  • --github-relay-max-duration <DURATION> — Expire borrowed access after a duration such as 1h (0s: session lifetime)

  • --all — Select every configured inventory host

  • --bootstrap-command <COMMAND> — Explicit remote shell command that installs mise and places it on PATH
