terminalizer: Create the global config directory.
$ terminalizer init
try on your machine

The command "terminalizer init" is used to initialize Terminalizer in the current directory. Terminalizer is a tool used to record and render terminal sessions into reusable videos.

When you run the "terminalizer init" command, it creates a configuration file named "terminalizer.yml" in the current directory. This file is used to specify the settings for recording terminal sessions, such as the font size, theme, and frame rate.

After running "terminalizer init" and creating the configuration file, you can further customize the settings in the "terminalizer.yml" file according to your preferences. This includes specifying the shell command to be recorded, any initial commands to be executed, recording dimensions, and other options.

Once the configuration is set, you can start recording your terminal session using the "terminalizer record" command, and then render it into a video using the "terminalizer render" command.

In summary, running "terminalizer init" initializes Terminalizer in the current directory by creating a configuration file that can be further customized to define how terminal sessions should be recorded.
