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 allocate a TTY by default, so
    you can use a command such as `docker compose exec web sh` to get an interactive prompt.
