mise setmise set [FLAGS] [ENV_VAR]…ev, env-varssrc/cli/set.rsSet environment variables in mise.toml
By default, this command selects the nearest configuration directory and
modifies its lowest-precedence TOML file, creating mise.toml here if none exists.
If multiple config files exist (e.g., both mise.toml and mise.local.toml),
the lowest precedence file (mise.toml) will be used.
See https://mise.jdx.dev/configuration.html#target-file-for-write-operations
Use -E <env> to create/modify environment-specific config files like mise.<env>.toml.
[ENV_VAR]… — Environment variable(s) to set
e.g.: NODE_ENV=production-E --env <ENV> — Create/modify an environment-specific config file like .mise.<env>.toml
-g --global — Set the environment variable in the global config file
--age-encrypt — [experimental] Encrypt the value with age before storing
--age-key-file <PATH> — [experimental] Age identity file for encryption
Defaults to ~/.config/mise/age.txt if it exists
--age-recipient <RECIPIENT> — [experimental] Age recipient (x25519 public key) for encryption
Can be used multiple times. Requires --age-encrypt.
--age-ssh-recipient <PATH_OR_PUBKEY> — [experimental] SSH recipient (public key or path) for age encryption
Can be used multiple times. Requires --age-encrypt.
--file <FILE> — The TOML file to update
Can be a file path or directory. If a directory is provided, will create/use mise.toml in that directory.
Defaults to MISE_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILENAME environment variable, or mise.toml.
Use MISE_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE to choose a different global config path.
Aliases: --path
--no-redact — Show raw values instead of redacting secrets
--prompt — Prompt for environment variable values
--stdin — Read the value from stdin (for multiline input)
When using --stdin, provide a single key without a value. The value will be read from stdin until EOF.
-h --help — Print help
mise set NODE_ENV=production
Read NODE_ENV; example output: production.
mise set NODE_ENV
Create or modify mise.staging.toml.
mise set -E staging NODE_ENV=staging
List keys, values, and source files.
mise set
Prompt for PASSWORD with hidden input.
mise set --prompt PASSWORD
Read a multiline value from stdin.
cat private.key | mise set --stdin MY_KEY
Store a multiline value from a pipeline.
printf "line1\nline2" | mise set --stdin MY_KEY
Encrypt the value with age (experimental).
mise set --age-encrypt API_KEY=secret
Prompt with hidden input and encrypt with age (experimental).
mise set --age-encrypt --prompt API_KEY
