command: docker compose exec
short: Execute a command in a running container.
long: |-
  This is the equivalent of `docker exec` targeting a Compose service.

  With this subcommand you can run arbitrary commands in your services. Commands are by default allocating a TTY, so
  you can use a command such as `docker compose exec web sh` to get an interactive prompt.
