This is a gem for recording your terminal activity on a gif file.
You can also record any other window of your application.
The gem runs only on MacOS X!
You need to install gifsicle at first.
$ brew install gifsicle
Then, please install flashman from rubygems.
$ gem install flashman
Start to record your Terminal. You can specify the name of the application with -w.
Without -w option, it records 'Terminal' by default.
$ flashman
Stop the recording. It could take a while.
$ flashstop
The output file 'out.gif' is placed at the directory where flashman was executed.
$ open out.gif
Specify other terminal or application with -w.
$ flashman -w iTerm
flashman records the window every second by default. You can change the interval with -i.
$ flashman -i 0.5
You can change the playback speed of the output file with -s. 2 means the speed will be doubled.
$ flashman -s 2
See the detailed description with -h.
$ flashman -h
