TTY-RECORD

tty-record is a tool that records a terminal session (well, any command you run it with) and saves the output in a self contained html file that can be run in the browser.

It is based on asciinema-player to playback the recorded session.

See also tty-share for sharing a terminal session.

Similar projects

Some similar projects and how tty-record relates to them:

  • script - the linux command part of util-linux package and which records the terminal session in a file. This is tool is available on most of Linux distributions and on OSX. The saved "typescript" can be played back with the same tool and only in the terminal.
  • asciinema - a nice tool that records your terminal session and it uploads it to the asciinema server where it can be played back. The recorded session can also be played back locally in the terminal by the same tool. However, you need to install the tool to play it, so if you want to share the recorded session you will have to upload it on the server, or the other person will have to install the tool to play it back.
