asciinema
: This is the command-line tool used to record and playback terminal sessions in the form of asciicasts.play
: This is a subcommand ofasciinema
that is used to play a recorded asciicast file.${filename}.cast
: This is the path to the asciicast file you want to play. The${filename}
part is a placeholder and should be replaced with the actual filename (without the.cast
extension). The.cast
