What is asciinema?

Developers, system administrators, and technical educators who need to record, share, or live stream terminal sessions for documentation, debugging, or collaborative purposes.
Developers choose asciinema for its efficient text-based recording format, which is highly compressible and easily embeddable, and for its live streaming capabilities that enable real-time terminal session sharing without heavyweight video files.
