Overview

The Runbooks CLI provides several commands for working with runbooks. All commands accept a local path or a remote URL as the runbook source.

• runbooks open — Open a runbook for consumers
• runbooks serve — Start the backend server (for developers)
• runbooks watch — Watch a runbook for changes (for authors)

Remote URLs

Every command that accepts a RUNBOOK_SOURCE can open a runbook directly from a remote URL, removing the need to manually download any runbook files.

See runbooks open for supported URL formats and authentication for private repos.
