Alias pip to uv pip

[MVanderloo]

Uv doesn't include pip in the default uv venv unless you specified, and for good reason. They recommend using uv pip as a wrapper meant to emulate pip's features.

When I enter a directory with a uv.lock, mise will create and activate a venv automatically, which is amazing. But since pip is not included, typing pip install ... will use the global pip. Thus typing pip install may silently install things into my global environment.

My least intrusive idea is that when activating a .venv, mise could also create a shell alias pip='uv pip' so that everything is seamless. Is there a way to do this with hooks or something else?

In case this helps:

You can either use the --seed option for virtualenv: https://mise.jdx.dev/lang/python.html#automatic-virtualenv-activation

[env]
_.python.venv = { path = ".venv", create = true, uv_create_args = ['--seed'] }

or as a setting: https://mise.jdx.dev/lang/python.html#python.uv_venv_create_args

[settings]
python.uv_venv_create_args = ['--seed']

although running pip is not the same as uv pip, see here. however the aliasing is a bit hacky and i should probably just prefer the uv add command instead
