ascii.io - Record Your Terminal

[Fi8sVrs]

Record Your Terminal Share it with no fuss

ASCII.IO is the simplest way to record your terminal and share the recordings with your fellow geeks. Simply record and upload your terminal session with a single command, and ASCII.IO will play it back in your browser.

Getting started

1. Install recorder

Linux

To install/update ascii.io recorder, open a terminal and run following command:

$ curl -sL get.ascii.io | bash

OSX (via Homebrew)

Install with:

$ brew install https://raw.github.com/gist/3875486/asciiio.rb --HEAD

Later update with:

$ brew upgrade asciiio

OSX (no Homebrew)

If you don't use Homebrew then install/update with:

$ curl -sL get.ascii.io | bash

2. Record

Open your terminal and run following command:

$ asciiio

New shell instance will be opened and everything you'll do in it will be recorded. When you're ready to upload simply exit the shell with exit command or just hit <C-d>.

3. Create profile (optional)

If you want your recordings to be assigned to your ascii.io profile and to be able to edit/delete them run this and follow instructions:

$ asciiio auth

If you skip this step now, you can always run above command later and all previously recorded asciicasts will get automatically assigned to your new profile.

Btw, see my profile.
