asciinema: Upload a locally saved terminal session to asciinema.org.
$ asciinema upload ${filename}.cast
try on your machine

The command "asciinema upload ${filename}.cast" is used to upload a recorded terminal session, saved in the .cast format, to asciinema.org.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "asciinema" is the name of the command-line program or tool.
  • "upload" is a subcommand that instructs the tool to upload a recorded session.
  • "${filename}.cast" is a placeholder representing the name of the file you want to upload. The ".cast" extension indicates that the file is in the asciinema recording format.

By executing this command and specifying the filename, you can share your terminal session with others by providing them with the URL of the uploaded recording.
