VHS

VHS is a command-line tool for recording terminal sessions as reproducible demos. It uses scriptable tape files that describe terminal actions, timing, dimensions, typing speed, and output settings. Developers can use it to create GIFs, videos, screenshots, or terminal recordings for documentation, README files, tutorials, and product demos. Instead of manually recording a screen, VHS makes terminal demonstrations repeatable and easier to update when a project changes. It is especially useful for CLI tools because it turns terminal behavior into a source-controlled artifact. Its main value is making polished command-line demos easier to create, maintain, and regenerate.
