TermRecord is a simple, open source, terminal session recorder with easy-to-share self-contained HTML output.
Store these files as your own notes, email them to collaborators, use them as instructional examples, or whatever you wish.
TermRecord consumes output from the script command with timing information and can create a self-contained HTML file which replays the recorded session without needing to load anything from the web. These term sessions can be emailed and viewed on practically any device (including iPads etc.). The end user only needs a modern browser.
Key Features
- User friendly.
- Detects the terminal size.
- Nest sessions.
- Cross-platform HTML-based output.
- Stores the output as either JSON, embeddable JavaScript, or a static HTML file.
- Written in Python.
