This is the README.md file for eev.
I used to call eev a "tool for automating almost everything" and "my project to save the world with Free Software". In more concrete terms, eev is a library for Emacs that lets us create executable logs of what we do in a format that is reasonably easy to read and to modify, and that lets us "play back" those logs step by step in any order.
The tutorial at
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
explains the main ideas of eev - elisp hyperlinks, a way to control shell-like programs ("eepitch"), and sandboxed tutorials (the "find-xxx-intro"s) - quite clearly in its first sections. I've been using it to teach Emacs and GNU/Linux to beginners.
Besides that tutorial the best introduction to eev is this video:
How to record executable notes with eev - and how to play them back

Its slide 13 shows how beginners can learn eev by starting with just two keys, M-j and M-e. See:

These two older videos are also interesting:
Eepitch: a way to control shell-like programs from Emacs (2013)

An introduction to eev2 (2012)

The video about eepitch has a very nice demonstration of controlling two shell-like programs at once - watch its first two minutes. Note: I made these two videos before implementing the "find-xxx-intro"s, that in the last few years became a central feature in eev.
The main URLs for eev are these:

The "quick intro" has installation instructions.
