# `mise exec`

- **Usage**: `mise exec [FLAGS] [TOOL@VERSION]... [-- COMMAND]...`
- **Aliases**: `x`
- **Source code**: [`src/cli/exec.rs`](https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/cli/exec.rs)

Execute a command with tool(s) set

use this to avoid modifying the shell session or running ad-hoc commands with mise tools set.

Tools will be loaded from mise.toml, though they can be overridden with &lt;RUNTIME> args
Note that only the plugin specified will be overridden, so if a `mise.toml` file
includes "node 20" but you run `mise exec python@3.11`; it will still load node@20.

The "--" separates runtimes from the commands to pass along to the subprocess.
