gh-f VS asciinema

gh-f is a GitHub CLI extension that I wrote that does all-things-fzf for git. From time to time I add new small features or quality of life adjustments :).

If you are into github CLI extensions, check out the ultimate fzf git extension: gh-f (unrelated to neovim, but shamelessy I am the author).

I deal with most of my git workflow from terminal simply because I find git to be easiest to use from the command line, where each command is verbose enough for you to understand what you are doing, and so is its output. Lately, with the introduction of the gh CLI things have gotten even easier, and all the workflow of branches, PRs, releases, runs and so forth is easily handled via command line as well: I wrote gh-f, an extension that integrates gh with fzf and you're good to go at the speed of light.

I have worked on gh-f for about one year and I have now reached the point where I consider it to be stable and robust enough to award it a full 1.0.0 release.

You may want to check out gh-f, where most of the functions/alias shown in the videos are packaged as gh CLI extension.

Nice, wasn't aware of that. Enjoying looking at the code underneath https://github.com/gennaro-tedesco/gh-f/blob/master/gh-f

gh cli with some gh extensions, like gh-f, gh-s, and gh-i, can get you most of the way there

If you are interesting in cherrypicking (and much more) you may want to have a look at gh-f, a GitHub CLI extension that works with fzf (in particular look at gh f -k)

Another feature added to gh-f: grep regex pattern through revision history. What about that piece of code you deleted, and now you want to quickly check the old revision file to copy and paste? Say no more: prompt for regex pattern, choose the file name, browse the revision history with preview and show the old file containing the piece of code you are after!

We use this for really nice terminal only demos. Highly recommend even though there are some minor rendering issues if you are using special fonts.

20 years of professional experience. I enjoy anything backend related, e.g APIs, profiling and solving performance problems, building high performance, low-latency network solutions, among many other things.

This might be a good usecase for https://asciinema.org/

I do quite a lot of this kind of stuff for my job. Some context that may be useful.

Often the full IDE is needed. I record a lot of gifs of VSCode, where part of the gif is typing code, part is interacting with the rest of the IDE / terminal - perhaps to run the code and view the output.

For me the killer app would be one which could pre-record keystrokes (and maybe mouse actions) so that I could do them error free. I often attempt a gif 10 times before I'm happy with the outcome.

I don't personally love the transition animation. I would want the option for something that seems like it's being typed.

The closest tools I've found are:
