SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Clarifies the complete mise.toml anatomy to simplify configuring and debugging Mise in complex projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • All valid filenames and their precedence from mise.local.toml through .config/mise/conf.d/*.toml, including environment-specific variants.
  • Detailed explanations of top-level sections, merge semantics, and the write locations when using mise use or mise set.
  • Use case: design, review, and debug configuration in monorepos or multi-env setups with explicit overrides.

Quick Start

Design your first mise.toml by following the anatomy guide to place sections in one of the valid filenames and verify with mise cfg ls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure mise.toml for a monorepo with multiple environments?

Configuring mise.toml for a monorepo involves using valid filenames across directories where files merge using precedence rules, allowing explicit environment overrides for multi-env setups.

What are the valid mise.toml filenames and their precedence order?

Valid mise.toml filenames range from mise.local.toml through .config/mise/conf.d/*.toml, including environment-specific variants. Each filename carries a specific precedence level used during config merges.

How does mise handle config merging and override precedence across directories?

Mise handles config merging by applying precedence rules across directories. When multiple configuration files exist, sections merge semantically, allowing deeper or more specific files to override parent configurations.

Where does mise write configuration changes when using mise use or mise set?

When using mise use or mise set, mise writes configuration changes to specific valid filenames based on its anatomy rules. Understanding these write locations is crucial for debugging complex project setups.

What are the top-level sections available in a mise.toml file?

The top-level sections in a mise.toml file define various environment and tool configurations. The anatomy guide details these sections and their merge semantics to help design and review project setups.

How do I debug mise configuration issues in complex projects?

To debug mise configuration in complex projects, verify valid filenames and merge semantics using mise cfg ls. This helps identify precedence issues and incorrect overrides across directories.
