If this comes of as a rant, then yes it is! I understand that not everyone likes reading and that everyone has their own method to absorb information. That being said there are plenty of cases where videos are not always the best choice. Sometimes people just want to use your video as a reference or quickly look up a command. So just as a reminder I’d like to bring the following well known Linux commands to your attention:
- script
- Records all your visible terminal input & output to a file as well as timing information if desired
- scriptreplay
- Can replay the recorded input & output if the timing information is available
So you still keep the ‘I prefer watching someone do it experience’ BUT you also provide a way for people to just grep for information. Additionally you can also configure the replay speed to be crazy fast. If I remember correctly mubix linked to these scripts in the past. If you want a clear walk-through do READ the following site:
