Hmm, `mise use -g docker-cli` works for me. `docker compose` is a bit trickier – it gets installed as `docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose`, but docker-cli doesn’t seem to pick it up. I’ve added a symlink as `docker-compose` for the time being. Also using brew for casks, and I think there’s a couple tools I couldn’t install with mise (e.g. pngpaste and zbar for scanning QR codes from screenshots).

FWIW you can replace pngpaste with a simple script: https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/impaste https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/impaste Zbar seems to provide prebuilt binaries here https://linuxtv.org/downloads/zbar/binaries/ https://linuxtv.org/downloads/zbar/binaries/ (haven't checked it myself) Thanks for the docker tip!

Got curious if you can do that without a temp file, turns out you can: #!/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript ObjC.import("AppKit"); $.NSFileHandle.fileHandleWithStandardOutput.writeData( $.NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard.dataForType("public.png"), ); --- Edit: > `docker compose` is a bit trickier I’ve tweaked my setup a bit. This installs it as `docker-compose` without symlinking required: "github:docker/compose" = { version = "latest", rename_exe = "docker-compose" } And also you can manually symlink it to the Docker plugins dir so `docker compose` works as well: DOCKER_CONFIG="${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}" mkdir -p "${DOCKER_CONFIG}/cli-plugins" ln -s "$(mise which docker-compose)" "${DOCKER_CONFIG}/cli-plugins/docker-compose"

There's the rename-exe option in mise.toml to rename the docker compose binary to `docker-compose`. I've used it on some machine, I think. Look it up in the docs, it doesn't take long to wire up.

  Yep, I’ve ended up doing exactly that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48501953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48501953 The default docker-compose definition comes from aqua:docker/compose though, which does not support rename_exe. You have to specify github:docker/compose instead.

    doesn't aqua:docker/compose just work? it does for me
    - notpushkin 4mo ago
      Nope :-( Just tried it again, it installs and is available in PATH as `docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose`, but `docker compose` says “unknown command”. For docker-cli to pick it up, it should be in $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose (~/.docker by default, though I use ~/.config/docker). rename_exe doesn’t do anything on the aqua backend either (and isn’t a documented option). I’m on mise 2026.5.10 right now though so if you fixed something recently I might be missing out!
