mise registry

• Usage: mise registry [FLAGS] [NAME]
• Effect: read-only
• Source code: src/cli/registry.rs

List registry shorthand names and their backends

The registry maps short names to backends. For example, node uses the built-in node backend (core:node). When a tool lists several backends, mise uses the first one that this platform and your settings allow. An explicit identifier such as aqua:jqlang/jq, a [tool_alias] entry, or a MISE_BACKENDS_<TOOL> environment variable overrides that choice.

This is not a list of every tool mise can install. Use an explicit identifier such as github:owner/repo for a source without a registry shorthand.

Arguments

• [NAME] — Show only this tool's backends, in the order mise prefers them

Flags

• -b --backend <BACKEND> — Show only tools for this backend

• --hide-aliased — Hide names that are aliases of another registry tool

• -J --json — Output in JSON format

• --security — Include security features for each tool's backends in JSON output

  Requires --json. Features are merged across a tool's backends. Each backend is resolved separately, so this slows down a full listing.

• -h --help — Print help
