   Basically three options (for terminals specifically):

   1. Use asciinema, which records your terminal's stdin & -out. It generates a very small recording, but you can only play it back with the asciinema player, as it's not technically an image or movie format.

   2. Script your interactions and record it with a regular screen recorder like OBS.

   3. At charm we got fed up with the first two options and we wrote our own software that does the job. To be released in the next few days!

     How do you record a screencast of your software and convert it to GIF format for posting on the source code repository?

     Something like this:

     I'm building a CLI utility where I need to screencast and post.

     Things that come to my mind are Asciinema and OBS.

     I'm not well-versed with OBS yet.

     So, just asking how do people does something like charm shows?

     Boosts are appreciated! I have this question for a while to find a better alternative.

     Thanks!
