visible manner, and additionally presenting a series of commands during a
proper manner. regardless of the purpose, there area unit over and over once
copy-pasting text from the terminal will not be terribly useful whereas
capturing a video of the method is sort of far-fetched and will not be
continually potential. in this fast guide, we are going to take a glance at the
simplest way to record and share a terminal session in .gif format by using tty
studio.
There are many utilities to record
your terminal as a gif (like ttyrec). However, most of them have variety of
dependencies and also the procedure is very cumbersome. ttystudio may be a new
tool developed with zero dependencies and support for gif and png output files.
ttystudio is generally JS with a couple of C++ bindings.
