Ask HN: What terminal recording tools lets you edit/run recordings?

7 pointsby agarwa902 anni fa2 comments

I have used asciinema(https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema) for terminal recordings. Recently, I've been using Savvy(https://github.com/getsavvyinc/savvy-cli) for recording my terminal activity and saving it as executable runbooks, which has been helpful, since I can edit it. Though the output format for both are useful for different things. Asciinema is more useful for demonstrations whereas Savvy is more useful for documentation/reuse.

What are some other terminal recording tools out there? Do they allow editing the recordings ?

In a previous gig we used <https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs> and kept the "tape" in git. This way it sort of ensured that updates to the CLI were updated. If someone added something and didn't update the the tape, it would be noticed in code review. Worked well enough.

vhs is pretty cool. I’ve used it before and liked the idea of an intermediate tape file. I was looking for a tool that allows execution of commands on shell as well!
