$ asciinema auth

try on your machine

The command "asciinema auth" is used to authenticate the user to an asciinema account. Asciinema is a free and open-source tool that allows users to record and share terminal sessions.

When you run "asciinema auth" command in the terminal, it will prompt you to either log in using an existing asciinema account or create a new one. You will be redirected to the browser, where you can authenticate through various platforms like GitHub, Google, Bitbucket, or GitLab. Once the authentication process is completed successfully, a token will be generated and saved locally on your machine.

This authentication token is then used to make API requests on behalf of your asciinema account. It gives you access to various features provided by asciinema, such as uploading and managing recordings, publishing them to the asciinema.org website, or even embedding them in other platforms.

By running this command, you are able to establish a secure connection between your local asciinema installation and your asciinema account, enabling you to manage and interact with your terminal recordings more easily.
