About:
Runme is a CLI tool that parses and executes shell commands directly from markdown files, READMEs, and runbooks. It enables interactive, executable documentation by allowing users to run code snippets in isolated terminal sessions without manual copying. This bridges the gap between documentation and execution, making tutorials and runbooks directly actionable.
Key Features:
  • Execute shell commands from markdown files
  • Isolated terminal sessions for command execution
  • Supports environment variable configuration
  • Integrates with existing documentation workflows
  • Provides a CLI for automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Running tutorial steps from project READMEs interactively
  • Executing operational runbooks for DevOps tasks
  • Testing and validating code snippets in documentation
Alternatives:
  • mdx – MDX is a JSX-based markdown compiler for React, not a CLI tool for executing shell commands.
  • bash – Native shell requires manual copying and pasting of commands from documentation.
