This is a future date relative to today (April 17, 2026). If this isn’t meant to be scheduled, it may keep the tutorial hidden depending on site build rules.

Over the years, I've used a variety of tools from Homebrew to Mint. Each have had their share of issues and perks. Over the past year I've gone with Mise, it seems to be best suited for what I'm looking for.


## What is Mise?

Mise is a tool version manager. There are a lot out there but Mise fit what I was looking for. Here's what I have tried and didn't quite fit:

### HomeBrew

HomeBrew is great for installing tools and apps locally on my computer. I recently purchased a brand new 15-inch M5 MacBook Air and rather than restoring from a backup I used Brew Bundle to restore the list of apps from my old MacBook Air easily. However for development tools, it's not really ideal especially in the case of Continuous Integration (automated build servers like GitHub Actions). **I want an isolated environment when I use CI** in order to have a repeatable environment regardless of OS or where the machine is hosted. So that fell short. Lastly handling multiple versions of language tools (ruby, node, etc...) is not ideal and is better suited with specific tools (rbenv, nvm, etc...).

### Swift Package Plugin

There are several reasons I don't use Swift Package plugins but the biggest is the lack of support distinguishing between a consumer of a swift package vs a developer of a Swift package. I really don't want a consumer to need to pull Swift tools I use (swift-format, swiftlint, xcodegen, periphery, stringslint, etc...) as a develop when trying to consume my library. There are proposals and [tools](https://github.com/shibapm/Rocket) that try to remediate this but it really hasn't stuck. Therefore it's best to configure these outside of Package.swift.

### Mint

Mint is a fantastic tool for installing Swift Package based tools. As a Swift developer, I frequently use tools like swift-format, swiftlint, xcodegen, periphery, and stringslint. To be able to install these tools on my machine is great. However there were a few shortcomings:

1. It's not really meant for continuous integration so you don't get the isolated environment which CI requires.
2. Only suited for Swift Packages. If you have a web application attached (node) or require fastlane for deployment (ruby), you'll need an additional tool to do this.
3. Every swift package is rebuilt; so deployment via binaries is unavailable meaning long build times just to get the tool up and running.

Tighten grammar/typos in user-facing copy.

There are a few visible issues (e.g., “Each have…”, “Mise fit…”, “as a develop…”, “Swift Package based”). Worth fixing before publishing for polish and credibility.
