asciinema2gif

Generate animated GIFs from asciinema terminal recordings.

Motivation

The asciinema tool is a wonderful way to record and share terminal sessions.
Unfortunately, it's not currently possible to embed the output in places like
README files on GitHub repos. This tool provides a solution for that.

Usage

Simply pass in the corresponding API url for the recording, e.g.

$ ./asciinema2gif https://asciinema.org/api/asciicasts/8332

An asciicast.gif file will then be generated for you to embed and share.

The API url supports a few customisable parameters you might want to use:

• ?size=: small, medium, big
• ?theme=: tango, solarized-dark, solarized-light

Requirements

OS X

brew install imagemagick gifsicle npm
npm install phantomjs2

Ubuntu

apt-get install imagemagick gifsicle npm
npm install phantomjs2
