Simply said, Ebe (Ebe - Edit by Example) is a program, which the user gives snippet of a file before and after desired edits. Then the compiler parses the files and using genetic programming (evolutionary approach) finds the best algorithm in Ebel language (I made a post about it a little back as well) and then the interpreter applies this algorithm to the whole input file or even multiple files.

I didn't yet do many optimizations and experimenting with GP, so my current approach is probably not the best, but if you want the whole project is open source, so you can have a look how I handle it (https://github.com/mark-sed/ebe/tree/main/engine). But basically I tried for the general one to use J. Koza's approach with the addition of elitism, so I don't lose any well performing phenotypes and I also have to do some trimming to the very long programs since Ebel kind of 1:1 matches the input example file size so I know how long the program (pass) should be.
