Shelr is a service which allows you to record and replay and publish your terminal on http://shelr.tv. This can be useful when you need to provide instruction on how a task was accomplished to a client. Granted, you will not want to publish any sensitive info when using this tool. The code for Shelr.tv service is also available on github.

You’ll need ruby and rubygems installed.
[sudo] gem install shelr
On ubuntu older than precise or debian older than wheezy you should also add following to your .bashrc or .zshrc

You need script tool from linux-utils. It’s already installed if You use Linux. Note that old school BSD script will not work.

brew install ttyrec # OSX sudo port install ttyrec # BSD / OSX shelr backend ttyrec # BSD / OSX
