mise is a Rust CLI that manages dev tool versions, project environment variables, and task running from a single mise.toml file. It replaces tools like asdf, direnv, and make by preparing the full development environment before each command runs.

Use cases

• install and pin multiple versions of node, python, and other dev tools per project
• load project-specific environment variables from .env files automatically
• define and run build, test, and lint tasks in one config file
• replace asdf for managing polyglot tool versions
• replace direnv for per-directory environment variables
• ensure CI jobs and new checkouts get identical tool setups
• automatically switch tool versions when changing directories

When to choose

• you work across multiple languages and need per-project tool versions
• you want asdf, direnv, and a task runner combined into one fast tool
• you want a single checked-in config so every machine and CI gets the same environment

When to avoid

• you only need a single-language version manager with deep ecosystem integration (e.g., nvm, pyenv)
• you need complex make-style dependency graphs in your task runner
• your team is not willing to adopt a shared mise.toml convention
