12.4. Managing environments
You can keep multiple named environments and act on any of them with --env:
$ mim ls # list all environments (marks the default)
$ mim modify --env myenv --set-default # make myenv the default
$ mim info myenv # detailed info for myenv
$ mim info # overview of all environments
$ mim rm myenv # remove an environmentBecause every command accepts --env, you never have to change the default to
work with another environment — and a bare command is legible from shell
history, since it always means the (rarely changed) default. Removing the
environment that is currently the default simply clears the default tag; set a
new one with modify --set-default.
Environments can be created at local scope (per-user, the default) or
system-wide (--system, requires root). Local environments shadow system
environments of the same name. A regular user can run/shell/eval a system
environment without being able to modify it, which makes a --system default a
convenient shared, read-only place to run code.
$ sudo mim new shared --morloc-version 0.105.2 --system
$ sudo mim modify --env shared --set-default --system
$ mim run -- morloc --version
