…501 or see the first comment on this thread to see a way to explicitly specify where to find the binaries for each platform: https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/4720#discussioncomment-14806363 Having these kind of "eject" options is one of the reasons I really appreciate Mise. Not sure this would work for you but I'd rather be able to do this than have to manage/support everyone on my dev team installing and maintaining Nix.

…ners preferred discussions over issues. I'd link to it but it's a 404 now. I've started a discussion regarding the lack of issues: https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/6566 Regarding confidence: I've used the project for a couple years now. I have a ton of confidence in it and I recommend it to everyone. While preferring discussions to issues is uncommon, the release frequency and utility of mise speak for itself. Take the time to look around the discussions and/or just use it. :)

…ub.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker (managing containers, images, volumes easily) https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit (best tui for git and outside niche git commands, the fastest way to use git.) https://github.com/jdx/mise (fast asdf, direnv, and task runner replacement) (install pretty much version of tool, language, env vars in a per directory level. (Or global if you want)) https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide (intelligent cd to move between directories incredibly quickly)

https://github.com/jdx/mise It's a generic version manager (replacing nvm/pyenv/etc). It also does direnv and tasks.

Nice work @jdxcode, this looks great. Is there any functionality in this release that might help with or be useful in features for sharing Mise config/tasks _across_ repos? And do you have any thoughts on that idea in general? https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/4562
