asciinema

asciinema is a tool that allows you to record a terminal session with out having to use screen capture. It also allows for easy copy-pasting! 

$ sudo apt-get install asciinema #install
$ asciinema rec #start session
$ your_commands_here
$ exit #exit session

Things To Note:

  • asciinema is not an installed package - run the first command from the example to get started

  • It also only has two functionalities: start recording and stop recording.

  • asciinema rec starts the recording as soon as you start typing the next command

  • exit immediately stops the recording and prompts you to ~Press <Enter> to upload and then provides you with a unique link to your session!
