Atuin’s New Runbook Execution Engine

Atuin Desktop is wonderful.

At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it…then I realized basically anything I would want to do more than once should go in here.

One off CSV export from a custom sql query? It’s in Atuin.

Need to onboard a new dev across all our various repos and tools? Shared Atuin runbook.

Basically any kind of manual process I’ve ever needed now lives in Atuin and is almost entirely automated. It’s wonderful.

Used to do all this stuff with Confluence and a bunch of copy-paste. No more.

I haven’t tried the desktop but I use the CLI tool multiple times a day (sometimes hour) and I just want to thank the team for making my life easier.

I love atuin -- the shared shell command memory function solves a problem that I had (recalling obscure CLI commands)

I'll try atuin desktop and I hope it succeeds, but I can't say that it solves any particular problem that I have and am aware of.

Ive been wanting to give this a try. I see that it mentions markdown formatting support, but I wonder if it actually supports markdown. I'd love to find a way to integrate it with my Obsidian vault, since I already have all my shell snippets and homelab docs there

Very cool, but what is the advantage of this over something like marimo?

Atuin seemed like an interesting way to sync shell history across machines. That wasn't a problem I personally had, but I could've seen myself giving it a try.

These recent developments with the Desktop tool, and now what seems like a Jupyter-like replacement for... shell scripts(?)... sounds completely alien to me. I'm sure it solves some problem for somebody, but it's far removed from any problem I've ever had. Good luck with the project, as it does look like a lot of work and thought went into it.
