Install mise

The repository uses mise to manage tool versions. Install it first:
curl https://mise.run | sh
Then activate mise in your shell (add to your .bashrc or .zshrc for persistence):
eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"  # or zsh/fish
See the mise installation docs for alternative installation methods.

Install development tools

With mise installed, install the project’s tool dependencies:
mise install
This installs Terramate, Terraform, kubectl, Helm, and other tools at the versions specified in mise.toml.
