Ran into this a while back, but I keep forgetting about it: https://asciinema.org

Using

$ asciinema rec
...
$ exit
...

It’ll start a new shell and record all the things (including timing and mistakes!), then upload it to their site for serving.

Modifying

Download it:

$ curl -sL https://asciinema.org/a/abcd1234.json > rec.json

Edit the file…

Upload it:

$ asciinema upload rec.json

Other useful options

Record something that isn’t a shell:

$ asciinema rec -c node
~ Asciicast recording started.
~ Hit Ctrl-D or type "exit" to finish.
> console.log('hello world')
hello world
undefined
> ~ Asciicast recording finished.
~ Press <Enter> to upload, <Ctrl-C> to cancel.
