README

Runme

Runme runs Markdown ci Join us on Discord

Discover and run code snippets directly from your markdown files, e.g. runbooks, docs, or READMEs (defaults to local README.md).

Runme is a tool that makes runbooks actually runnable, making it easier to follow step-by-step instructions. Shell/bash, Python, Ruby, Javascript/Typescript, Lua, PHP, Perl, and many other runtimes are supported via Runme's shebang feature. Runme allows users to execute instructions, check intermediate results, and ensure the desired outputs are achieved. This makes it an excellent solution for runbooks, playbooks, and documentation that requires users to complete runnable steps incrementally—making operational docs reliable and much less susceptible to bitrot.

Runme achieves this by literally running markdown. More specifically, Runme runs your commands (shell, bash, zsh) or code inside your fenced code blocks. It's 100% compatible with your programming language's task definitions (Makefile, Gradle, Grunt, NPM scripts, Pipfile or Deno tasks, etc.) and markdown-native. Much like a terminal session, environment variables are retained across execution, and it is possible to pipe previous cells's output into successive cells. Runme persists your runbooks in markdown, which your docs are likely already using.

Installation

To get started with Runme on MacOS, the recommended method of installation is using Homebrew, a popular package manager that simplifies the installation process. First, ensure your Homebrew is up to date to avoid any compatibility issues:

$ brew update

With Homebrew updated, proceed to install Runme. This command will fetch the latest stable release of Runme and install it on your system:

$ brew install runme

If you prefer using NPM (Node Package Manager) for managing your packages, Runme can also be installed globally via the following command:

$ npm install -g runme

For users with different setups, you can visit Runme's releases page and download a binary suitable for your operating system. For those with Go developer tools set up, Runme can be installed using the go install command:

$ go install github.com/stateful/runme@latest

Commands

Runme’s CLI (Command Line Interface) offers a set of commands designed to help you seamlessly discover and execute workflows within your project. Below are examples demonstrating the use of these commands:

Run Workflows

Suppose you have a README.md file in your project directory with the following content:

# My Project

## Install

To initiate the installation process, start by updating Brew dependencies with the following command:

```sh { name=update-brew }
brew update
...
```

To execute the update-brew code cell from the README.md file, simply use the runme run command followed by the name of the code cell:

$ runme run update-brew

For more details and advanced configurations for code cells, refer to the Runme documentation.

List

To navigate through and identify available workflows in your project, use the runme list command. This command will display a list of all workflows you can run:

$ runme list

Print

The print command is useful when you need to review the code within a code cell without executing it. It outputs the code present in the specified code cell, providing a quick way to inspect the code:

$ runme print hello-world

Help

Find help and information to parameters and configurations. If you need assistance or information regarding various parameters and configurations available with Runme, the help command provides quick access to helpful information:

$ runme help

Feel free to explore further and experiment with the commands to get a deeper understanding of Runme’s functionalities!
