Runme is an open-source tool that makes Markdown documentation executable, running shell commands and code snippets directly from fenced code blocks in runbooks and docs. It provides a CLI, VS Code extension, and notebook UI backed by a shell kernel, enabling runnable DevOps runbooks that can be tested in CI/CD.

Use cases

• run markdown runbooks step by step from the terminal
• execute code snippets inside README and docs files
• turn operational docs into interactive notebooks
• test markdown documentation in CI/CD pipelines
• keep runbooks from going stale with executable instructions
• run devops workflows with terraform, helm, and docker from notebooks

When to choose

• your team maintains runbooks or operational docs in markdown that drift out of date
• you want a Jupyter-like notebook experience with a shell kernel
• you need to validate documentation commands on every commit
• you prefer docs that stay in plain markdown and work with git

When to avoid

• you need a full data-science notebook with rich plotting and Python kernels
• your docs are not stored as markdown
• you only need a static documentation site generator
