mise shell

• Usage: mise shell [FLAGS] [TOOL@VERSION]…
• Aliases: sh
• Effect: read-only
• Source code: src/cli/shell.rs

Set a tool version for the current shell session

Installs the version if needed, then sets MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION, such as MISE_NODE_VERSION, to the resolved version in the current shell. That overrides config files until you close the shell or run mise shell --unset <TOOL>, or mise shell --unset --all to remove every version set this way. Requires mise activate: the shell function it defines applies the variable that this command prints.

Arguments

• [TOOL@VERSION]… — Tools to set, such as node@20

Flags

• -j --jobs <JOBS> — Number of jobs to run in parallel (default: the jobs setting)

  Environment Variable: MISE_JOBS

• -u --unset — Remove a version set earlier with mise shell

• --all — With --unset, remove every MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION in this shell

  This includes any you exported yourself, not only those set by mise shell.

• --raw — Connect the install commands' stdin, stdout, and stderr to the terminal

  Implies --jobs=1.

• -h --help — Print help

Examples

Use node 20 in this shell

mise shell node@20
node -v
v20.19.5

Go back to the version the config requests

mise shell --unset node

Drop every version set with mise shell or MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION

mise shell --unset --all
