mise bootstrap

• Usage: mise bootstrap [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>
• Source code: src/cli/bootstrap/mod.rs

[experimental] Set up a machine for the current config in one command

Runs the bootstrap steps for the current config in order:

1. mise bootstrap packages install — install missing [bootstrap.packages]
2. mise dotfiles apply — apply dotfiles from [dotfiles]
3. mise bootstrap macos-defaults apply — write [bootstrap.macos.defaults] entries (macOS)
4. mise bootstrap user apply — set [bootstrap.user].login_shell (Unix)
5. mise install — install missing tools from [tools]
6. mise run bootstrap — if a task named bootstrap is defined

The declarative steps converge — anything already in its desired state is skipped, so re-running is safe. The bootstrap task runs on every invocation; keep it idempotent. Use it for any project-specific setup that doesn't fit the declarative sections (cloning repos, seeding databases, etc.) — it runs with the installed tools on PATH.
