Runme DevOps Notebooks for Visual Studio Code Tests

Runme offers a robust solution for integrating operational documentation written in Markdown files. It improves documentation maintainability and team collaboration. Seamlessly incorporate scripting, pipelines, and GitOps methodologies into your infrastructure workflows.

With native support for Helm, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and SSH, Runme enhances your DevOps toolchain. Utilize Runme's native cloud renderers to access the AWS Console and Google Cloud Console directly within your Notebooks. (More Cloud renderers coming soon!)

How it works

This VS Code extension transparently opens markdown files (i.e. README.md) as runnable VS Code Notebooks (with the click of a play button). By annotating markdown code blocks, repository maintainers can enrich the interactive, runbook-style experience of their markdown notebooks, all while ensuring they render correctly in markdown viewers. Runme, available as an open-source tool, is licensed under APL 2.0.

💡 To disable the default opening of the Runme Notebook when accessing Markdown files, you have the option to right-click on the .md file, then select "Open With..." and choose your preferred text editor. For a permanent solution, select "Configure default editor for..." and make your choice accordingly.".

Installation

Comprehensive install instructions are available in the docs at https://docs.runme.dev/install.

Usage

Once you've cloned a repository in VS Code, open any markdown file to observe that instead of displaying its content directly, it renders a Notebook. Within this Notebook, shell commands and other code sections are presented as runnable blocks. For detailed guidance, refer to Runme's Getting Started guide for step-by-step instructions.

Configure Cell Execution

Runme allows code blocks to be annotated with attributes to provide control over some aspects of execution, output, interaction, and other behavior. Please find a complete list in the docs.

For instance, the following annotation will run the command in the background, great for compilers/bundler with file watchers. To enable or disable any of the available options just click the respective cell's Configure button.

```sh { background=true }
npx tsc --watch
```

Configure Document-level Execution

Runme does not just retain frontmatter, it supports top-level settings that will affect all cells in the document.

---
shell: bash
# or
shell: zsh
# or
shell: /bin/ksh
---

Check the complete list of configuration options at https://docs.runme.dev/configuration or take a look at the examples which are also illustrated in Runme's integration docs.
