zechris / asciinema-rec_script Goto Github PK

@zechris thanks for this cool great tool! I'm using it e.g. here._

It occured to me that what would be cool is that in addition to generating a .cast, it could also render an *.md ...

In my project's documentation I am putting the screencast of a demo on top of a page, and then also show the script and output as MD doc after it (to make it more easily readable, and copy/paste-able from, and search engine indexed).

My current approach is to asciinema cat *.cast and then manually to remove the ANSI control codes; see here.

It occured to me that this is "sub-optimal"... as this asciinema-rec_script already processes the source script file, it could make more sense for it to directly produce MD? That way comments could be put inline into the MD (with MD formatting, outside of the code block), output could be a bash code-block - and perhaps cat / bat files could be "inlined" with a code block depending on their extension.

I fully understand that while this works for a "simple" command, we could not transform a terminal session in the general case to markdown text, so this would not work for a more advanced "TUI"-like script and recording, like it does for simpler "call this command and show the output that produces".

Hello,

what a cute little script, thank you for this.

Just to let you know that I have made a couple of changes in my copy.

1. I am adding the script as shebang on my scripts :) so that it looks like

#!/usr/local/bin/asciinema-rec_script

## Date maths

# The `date` command can be used to retrieve the:
#  * *day of the week* using the `%l` option
day_of_the_week=$(date +%l)

#  * *hour of the day* using the `%u` option
hour=$(date +%u)

2. I have also added support for generating gifs using agg

asciinema_rec "$script" --title "${title:-${script##*/}}" "${args[@]}"
agg ${screencast} ${screencast%.cast}.gif 

Hi,

Hi!

I can't find a way to specify the cols and rows arguments that I usually pass to asciinema.

Can you tell me if it is possible to do it?

Thanks!

Hello,

I made a simple script:

mkdir abc
: rm -rf abc

But the last command is supposed to remove the directory abc and for some reason that I don't explain, it doesn't do it.

Can you help me?
