VcrSharp

⚠️ WORK IN PROGRESS This project is in early development and the API will change rapidly. If you need a stable, production-ready terminal recorder, please use VHS instead. VcrSharp is experimental and should be considered alpha quality.

A .NET terminal recorder that turns .tape files into GIFs and videos. Write your terminal demos as code, then render them to video.

Installation

Install VcrSharp as a global .NET tool:

dotnet tool install --global vcr

Attribution

This project is heavily inspired by VHS by Charm Bracelet. VcrSharp adds better Windows support and the ability to execute real commands via the Exec command, but VHS is still much more feature rich.
