Kgif
Tool for creating gif file from capturing active window.
Originally it was created for capturing tty output and creating preview for github projects :wink:
I needed to capture tty output on my Ubuntu 15.10. First I came up to using ttyrec
with ttygif or tty2gif convertor, then find showterm.io. All this solutions didn't work for me :grimacing: Than I create this simple script that satisfies all my needs.
