asciinema — Terminal Session Recorder

Asciinema lets you easily record terminal sessions and replay them in a terminal as well as in a web browser.

When you run asciinema rec in your terminal the recording starts, capturing all output that is being printed to your terminal while you’re issuing the shell commands. When the recording finishes (by hitting Ctrl-D or typing exit) then the captured output is uploaded to asciinema.org website and prepared for playback on the web.

Asciinema is included in repositories of most popular package managers on Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD. Look for package named asciinema.
