asciinema: Replay a terminal recording hosted on asciinema.org.
$ asciinema play https://asciinema.org/a/${cast_id}
try on your machine
The command "asciinema play https://asciinema.org/a/${cast_id}" is used to play an ASCII recording from asciinema.org.
Here is how the command breaks down:
- "asciinema" is the command-line utility for recording and sharing terminal sessions in the form of ASCII animations.
- "play" is the subcommand of "asciinema" that is used to play a recorded session.
- "https://asciinema.org/a/${cast_id}" is the URL of the cast you want to play. The "${cast_id}" should be replaced with the actual ID of the cast you want to play.
When you run this command, it will fetch the specific cast from asciinema.org, download it, and then play it in your terminal using ASCII characters. This allows you to replay and visualize command-line sessions that were previously recorded and shared on asciinema.org.
